Movie Review - Evil Dead Burn
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.
If you dig this kind of flick, go for it - you’ll be satisfied. But be ready, because you’re going to get it good and hard.
