Evil Dead Burn

The storytelling is quite poor, but the filmmaking is....(link) Deliciously MEAN and impressively brutal, even by the standards set from the previous two. There are a handful of incredibly visceral long-takes that should earn the director a blank check. Elsewhere, the movie pauses to drop a cold-blooded shock with a devilish smirk. It's a shame, then, that the characters and story are aggressively mid. A clichéd opening scene set at a club with hackneyed conflicts and heavy-handed dialogue portended a 3.5 star ceiling for the film, despite it succeeding at nearly every other Evil Dead expectation.  I recommend it for the scare scenes and violence, but the only thing you'll remember from it after a couple of days is a vague sense of fucked-up-ness.
