This would be the first film in a trilogy that would culminate in the permanent defeat of the Deadites. It will also serve to bridge the tone gap between the funny, irreverent feel of the original trilogy and the more serious tone of the attempted reboot. Ash’s son from a night of drunken debauchery seeks him out trying to form a relationship with him. Ash is his usual cocky self and outwardly scorns all his son’s attempts. During the course of the movie a doomsday cult has raised the Deadites and Ash and his son must fight. By the End of the film, Ash is possessed and in a moment of clarity tells his son he loves him. Ash then instructs his son to kill him because it’s the only way. Ash’s son vows to defeat the Deadites one and for all and kills Ash.
