After the loss of her husband, a grieving woman seeks solace with her in-laws at their secluded family home. However, it soon becomes a reunion from hell as the Book of the Dead unleashes demonic forces that transform them into Deadites one by one.
Evil Dead Burn continues more than 40 years of Deadites conjured from the Necronomicon and wreaking bloody, gruesome and sometimes funny havoc upon the world. For as straightforward a story as that is, it’s still difficult to nail the spirit of Sam Raimi’s original cult classic. Following a Fede Alvarez reboot and a Lee Cronin sequel, How well does Evil Dead Burn carry the franchise torch? IGN’s Tom Jorgensen reviews the Sébastien Vaniček entry, chatting about its visceral, gore-splattered highs, the underbaked story-based lows and just how tricky a relationship The Evil Dead has always had with comedy.
