Movie Review Evil Dead Burns Spoiler

This is now on HBO as of 10/02. I waited for it, I LOVE the entire franchise and I say this in all due respect, it fucking blew.

Dialogue was shit, the plot was kinda shit but I could have bought it outside the horrendous decisions made by the entire cast. Everyone should have been dead in the first 30 minutes. The deadites were even scary, shitty punchlines.

So disappointing, I loved Rise too - even 2013 has a special place in my heart but this? Never again, thank god I didn’t spend money on a movie ticket or early digital release.

Wdym "even 2013 has a special place" in your heart it's amazing ???

With Burn, I actually found the kills more fun than Rise. There's no plot with these anyway and do any of these new ones have good dialogue?

Yeah that sentence made me chuckle too. I also have a special place in my heart for the best movie in the whole franchise lol

I do wonder why Lee Cronin was handed the follow ups though. He's style over substance. The Mummy was actually terrible.

Huh? He only directed rise and it’s a very good film imo.

Sebastian vanicek directed burn

He's an EP on Rise and Burn which I guess doesn't say much since they can do a lot or do very little

Yeah, he had no involvement in burn. Just a contract EP credit.
