I've loved Evil Dead since the 1980s. Even though I'm tepid on Army of Darkness (which is being kind), the RPG does a great job of capturing the freneticism and chaos on the film. It does not do a good job of capturing the gore, murder, and mayhem of the entire series, proper (AoD was just a satirical send-up of the other two, and the second was just a remake of the first).
Most of it's silly, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek, and Fantasy. With the other Fantasy elements scattered through Buffy, Angel, et.al., I'd sell this as a Fantasy game moreso than Evil Dead, but it features several scenarios from different eras, and more than a handful of variations on the Deadites. UniSystem Cinematic (Angel/BtVS).
