Evil Dead Burn is what you expect it to be: dark, violent and gory. But man, watching and enjoying it is a bit of a slog.
That’s not to say it’s not “good.” Horror fans (of whom I’m not really one) will rejoice and understandably so. It’s fast-paced, goes barreling non-stop from about 20 minutes in to the conclusion, and the gore is creative and constant.

That being said, it’s a situation where you might want to go home afterward and take a shower and read a Bible or something.
You still get some classic Raimi touches from the early Evil Dead films: drone work, tilted angles, closeups. But it seems they’ve lost the fun of those earlier works. This is deadly serious, with a possible punchline from a Deadite thrown in here and there.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
