From the wretched funeral home to the actual childhood “home,” Evil Dead Burn is a full nightmare hellscape. The place is beyond dilapidated, and that Victorian-era makeshift bed with its singular two-inch padding feels like it was designed specifically to ruin your night.
That’s the beauty of the modern Evil Dead universe, though. The settings and plot are so over-the-top and ridiculous that any sense of “believable” flies out the window the second the credits roll.
This one picks up the thread from Evil Dead Rise (including that possessed Jessica from the lake), drops a family into a rotting Victorian house tied to the old Kandarian lore, and then lets the Deadites take over with the usual inventive body horror.
It’s also the kind of ridiculous movie you want to yell at with your friends (or by yourself). If you haven’t seen it yet, perhaps streaming it at home is the move.
