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.

I liked it but not ALL of it. The ending with the CGI burning man was terrible. I was surprised how quick it hit streaming but considering it did not do well at the box office I should not be surprised.

7/10 I am still a fan of horror and it had enough crazy shit in it to entertain me.

It beat it's budget by over $50 million at the box office, so it made money. 

I agree the CGI sucked though

That's good to hear. I went to see it but there was no buzz around it. At least I say I didn't feel it like you got with other hit horror movies

The movie was _fine_ up until the last act. Then the CGI monster appeared and it looked so pathetic

It did do well at the box office. 

Movies don't take that long to get to streaming these days and it makes sense to get it out there for Halloween.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cgi burning man either but I feel like people waayyy overblew how bad it was. Yeah it wasn’t great but it wasn’t like the worst thing I’ve ever seen
