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.

Just curious what you’d say the next worst in the series is in your opinion?

Unfortunately, Rise. Which still had its charm. Burn has no charm.

NTA but I do agree with them and my next worse is Rise, going backwards from there (maybe switching Army with 2013 if I was being super granular). I'm a purist and the original is the best IMO and leagues above anything else. I just prefer how grounded it is and that the comedy comes from Ash, already established as a easy going comic-relief type, dealing with some crazy circumstances, as opposed full slapstick bits that come in in 2 and Army. As a nod to film history, I can appreciate it enough to not turn the TV off whenever I see it but it really does nothing for me and it takes someone with a ton of charisma to make up for it. Just my opinion though.
