Plot

Ash has spent the last thirty years avoiding responsibility, maturity, and the terrors of the Evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind and Ash becomes mankind's only hope.

Thirty years after the events of Evil Dead, Ash is a loner, living a dull existence, still not able to come to grips with the events that started at the cabin. In the event of a Deadite invasion, Ash must attach his chainsaw and pick up his trusty boomstick one more time, all while finally coming to terms with his past.—Jay Fuller

Three long and suspiciously quiet decades after his bloody last encounter with the demonic abominations in the Army of Darkness (1992), the heroic former monster-killer Ash Williams, now a grizzled Casanova in bad shape, finds himself treading water. However, after spending years peering over his shoulder, convinced that The Evil Dead (1981) would come back with a vengeance, Ash is unwillingly back in the demon-slaying game when, in one of those spur-of-the-moment decisions, unwittingly unleashes hell on Earth. As the plague of the Deadites not only threatens to destroy the neighbourhood but also annihilate the entire human race, Ash must brace himself up for the upcoming nightmare. But has the guy with the chainsaw and the shotgun what it takes to destroy the ancient Kandarian evil for good?—Nick Riganas
