This did not feel like an Evil Dead movie at all. It tried to make you care about the characters with the themes of family trauma, but it just didn't work. The movie was cruel for the sake of being cruel (I realize the irony when saying this for an Evil Dead movie). We simply have NO ONE to root for, so all the excessive gore on display just doesn't have any impact. After enjoying Evil Dead Rise quite a lot, I went into this with high expectations, and I'm mad at the movie we got.

If you thought the era of Hollywood horror filmmakers using over-the-top gratuitous and totally uncalled for gore and violence on women and girls to cover up for shallow scripts and lack of creativity, well, you were wrong. This is exactly what Sam Raimi (producer), Sébastien Vanicek (writer-director), and Florent Bernardand (writer) did with this unbelievably bland latest entry into the Evil Dead film series. I've seen lots of B-rated horror flicks with much lower budgets delivering much more creative and substantial scripts and entertainment than what I got from this. Yet the sheer amount of gratuitous violence and gore meted on women (and a girl) in this movie are such that one wonders whether one or more of the men (and yes, it's all men) behind the production of this movie was going through a harrowing divorce with a woman when they made it. This, or they just straight up hate women, viscerally. It doesn't help at all that all this violence is wrapped up under a thin veneer of the most stereotypical and tropey domestic violence story one could write, as if doing so would somehow magically justify all of said violence. This is all so disappointing especially given how creative and rich the preceding entry into this series (Evil Dead Rise) was. In all, if you're someone that loves horror films with at least a bit of meat on them, then you'll be wasting your time on this. Just skip it. However, if you're one for absurd levels of senseless and pointless gore and violence with almost no script to back it up, then have at it. From the stars are I've given it, you can guess which kind of person I am.

The entire Evil Dead scenario seems to be losing its continuity at this point. I wasn't impressed with this film as a Evil Dead movie, however I understood the themes of trauma, abuse and healing that were present throughout. It kind of felt like someone wrote a different film then slapped the Evil Dead moniker on it. The Evil Dead lore has jolted around in so many odd directions over the years, but I suppose that's to be expected from a franchise that had Army of Darkness in it.\ \ The main cast was forgettable, outside of [Souheila Yacoub](https://www.themoviedb.org/person/2037046-souheila-yacoub) as our last girl and [Eroll Shand](https://www.themoviedb.org/person/150396-erroll-shand) as the Deadite Edgar. Hunter Doohan needs to get some roles where he's not playing the slimy, cowardly cretin. It's becoming a typecast at this point.\ \ On the whole I give it 6/10. Unimpressive, but not bad.

Let me start by saying I LOVED 'Evil Dead Rise'. This was BAD. I was truly let down as I had high hopes from the 2023 installment. The acting was meh, the story was blah. Where was ANY Necronomicon? They said there was to be three different stories about three different books. I saw no Necronomicon in this movie...? The surprise cameo made no sense. I am hoping this will be the worst of the three movies as the next one is supposed to be a prequel of sorts.

The film strikes a great balance, delivering clever narrative tie-backs to Evil Dead Rise alongside a subtle, underlying connection to the lore of the original films. Rather than resting on nostalgia, it uses those classic elements to build a story that feels fresh while remaining distinctly true to the franchise's roots. The shift in setting works brilliantly here. Moving the terror out of Rise’s cramped city apartment block and into a sprawling, secluded farmhouse gives the film a completely different kind of claustrophobia. The rural atmosphere and isolated location gave off massive Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Baker family vibes. That uncomfortable sense of being trapped with a deeply unhinged, hostile family dynamic long before the supernatural madness even takes over. When the Deadites do unleash, the film delivers in spades. Modern Evil Dead entries have really amped up the brutal, relentless nature of the gore, and Burn is no exception. What makes it work so well is the sheer tactile impact of the set pieces. Between the aggressive sound design and a reliance on heavy practical effects over cheap digital tricks, every injury, splash of blood, and horrific transformation feels uncomfortably real and punishing. It’s really encouraging to see movies like this succeeding, especially since horror felt like it was going through a bit of a dry spell recently. We’re finally getting a steady stream of inventive, high-quality genre films that actually respect the audience and make the trip to the cinema worthwhile. I’d highly recommend Evil Dead Burn to any horror fan. The best way to experience these modern entries is to disconnect them from Raimi’s 80s originals. Those were iconic products of their time, whereas this current era is leaning into dark, visceral, unfiltered horror. Both eras are brilliant in their own right, and Burn proves this franchise still has plenty of gas in the tank.

This is a worthy successor to the franchise, and it does a lot of fun with the source material. The characters are fun, which means that you get to engage with them and feel something when they meet their gruesome demise, which is way better than having interchangeable teens just being lost instantly when in some cabin somewhere. The movie has plenty of fun gore and intricate kills and does not lose sight of its core narrative. It's claustrophobic and very tightly shot, and the post-credit murder is fantastic, calling back to Evil Dead Rise.
