This film is the PERFECT mixture of horror and comedy. Evil Dead was scary, Army of Darkness was funny, this is the best of the trilogy. Raimi re-tells a more simplified version of the Evil Dead in the first five minutes which allows him to blast straight into the action with Ash getting possessed. It's uphill from here.
The effects are higher budget this time but not TOO high budget as was the case in Army of Darkness. Many of the scenes are remakes from the first but likewise many new scenes are copied in Army of Darkness (eg.Chainsaw arm/metal hand). You really don't need to have seen Evil Dead (though it helps) but you MUST see this before Army of Darkness, otherwise many gags in the latter will be missed.
Get your friends round, crack open some beers, crank up the volume and watch this and Army of Darkness for the most entertaining night of your life.
