| dc.description.abstract | When a dimwit homewares salesman, Ash (Bruce Campbell), slips back in time, he must battle the medieval dead to find a way back home. As part of the Evil Dead universe, Sam Raimi combines breathless action with slapstick humour and medieval fantasy to create an over-the-top comic book cavalcade of a movie. After the screening, join our vibrant panel discussion to explore what excites science communication scholars about this dark fantasy comedy film - and discover how fictional stories and devices, such as the ‘boomstick’, can inspire audience engagement with technology and science. ‘Ash's dialogue keeps the movie just goofy enough that even audiences that don't go in for schlock-horror phantasmagorias will be tickled.’ – Los Angeles Times Presented as part of our Science. Art. Film. series in partnership with the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, ANU. | en |
