"Evil Dead Burn" stands as a great entry in a franchise that refuses to limp. The violence delivers, the humor connects, and the Deadites feel more merciless here than in any prior entry. One choice holds it back from a perfect score, and that same choice will probably keep some people away from viewing it altogether.
Anyone sensitive to animal violence onscreen should skip this one. The rest of the film earns its ticket price, and the fight scenes alone justify a big-screen viewing for franchise fans with strong stomachs. That single scene, though, killed any desire for a near-term rewatch. A film this well made should send its audience out hungry for a second viewing. This one sent me out relieved to walk away.
"Evil Dead Burn" opens in theaters tomorrow, July 10. Rated R for strong bloody horror violence and gore, and language.

“Evil Dead Burn” is a vicious, funny, blood-soaked franchise entry with brutal set pieces and Deadites at their most merciless. It nearly earns a perfect rating, but one disturbing scene may push some viewers too far—and makes this otherwise thrilling horror ride difficult to revisit.
