Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBefore Ash heads into the fruit cellar to save Pablo, he puts black shoe polish in his hair, specifically on the left side of his head. At the end of Evil Dead 2, when the "Rotten Apple Head" monster burst through the door of the cabin, Ash is so frightened by the sight of this monster, a small portion of his hair turns gray on the left side of his head.
- GoofsJake's skeleton has a full set of teeth, but in the clip from Evil Dead II (1987) showing him being pulled into the cellar, missing teeth are evident.
- Quotes
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Don't act like you know me.
Ruby Knowby: Oh, but I do. See one day long ago, you appeared in my book. El Jefe.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: That's Mr. Jefe to you. But the end of your story is not yet written. Now Ash, do you really think I want you and your little friends to die?
Ruby Knowby: No. I just want things to go back to the way they were, when the Dark Ones ruled over evil forces on Earth.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Yeah, well, I just want to bang Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, but that ain't gonna happen.
Ruby Knowby: The world is in chaos, and I want order. To consolidate the dark forces under one ruler: Me.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Oh, so you're the good guy now? What, you wanna control all of these demons like The Godfather?
Ruby Knowby: Exactly.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Well, I hated that movie. Too long, and boring and not enough boobies. I'm more of a Death Wish kinda guy.
Ruby Knowby: You are the one obstacle in the way. So what's your price? What do you really want?
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: What do I want? I want this to be done. I want the last 40 years of my life...
Ruby Knowby: 10 years.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: I want the last years of my life to be worth living. I want a 20 ounce steak every night for dinner. A little pad of butter right there. I want cable TV, with all the premium channels.
Ruby Knowby: And Jacksonville. Take it. I can give you all of that.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Oh, okay. No, no, no. You're tryin' to beguile with those radar eyes of yours. I call bullshit!
Ruby Knowby: What you should be calling is a truce. Lay down your weapons, and go back to your life. I am offering you the undo button you wanted. Take it.
Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams: Truce? I could get into that. Or... I could kill you now!

Although not quite as great as episode nine, The Dark One is still a cracking way to round things up, while still leaving room for further blood-drenched adventures. Director Rick Jacobson certainly doesn't scrimp on the violence, best bits being Heather (Samara Weaving) getting what she deserves for having such an annoying scream and Pablo puking up a demonic child that gets blown apart by Ash's boomstick.
8/10. I can't wait for Season Two to hit Netflix. I might have to stump up cash for a physical boxset.
