Evil Dead Burn
Evil dead continues to kill it. It may be one of the best horror franchises currently. The last 3 evil dead movies have all taken a more serious turn and I love that they all feel different. Burn takes some notes from the French extremity movement and mixes them in perfectly. I only have one question though. Which necronomicon do I have to read to get my Girl Mia from evil dead 2013 back ? Because I'll do it.
Evil dead burn takes the tried and tested grief and family trauma themes but puts it in a evil dead movie. I'm personally a bit tired of these themes but I do love how they use it in burn. It takes a volatile visit with the in-laws to its extreme conclusion.
The story follows Alice who goes to stay with her in laws after her husband's death. The family have a old secret though and the deadites are on the hunt.
The story is darkly fun. I do love how each director of the new trilogy bring their own style to the story. This time a family drama story gone terribly wrong. Alice, our final girl here was great. Her backstory with her husband and fight to survive was awesome. I also love how they are connecting the franchise now.
The ending was awesome and very reminiscent to the 2013 movie. The last battle was just awesome. Alice had a bloody battle of survival and the last line was good. The post credit scenes were well worth the wait and what else can I say except mommy's back.
The characters aren't as interesting as in rise,2013 or the ash movies but they were still good. Alice is a great addition to the evil dead final guys and girls. Her last battle was awesome. The family itself were good but just not as interesting or memorable as the other characters in the series.
The gore was still top notch. The kills and violence doesn't hold back at all. What these movies have taught me so far was don't go into a kitchen in a evil dead movie. So it's still great and bloody fun.
Evil dead burn continues to confirm that it's one of the best horror Franchises. I love each of these movies from the ash series to the standalone ones. Burn brings a great final girl, bloody fun, an awesome final battle and a post credit scene that make me want more. So I can't wait for wrath and keep these movies coming.
