Watch On
The latest chapter in the “Evil Dead” franchise ramps up the blood, guts and gore to a new level. Considering the series’ pedigree as one of the most gruesome in the horror genre, that’s really saying something. “Evil Dead Burn” might be the most twisted “Evil Dead” movie to date. So, if you like your horror with a huge scoop of fake blood, this movie won’t let you down. Just take it from me, this movie is absolutely not for the squeamish.After the death of her abusive husband, Alice (Souheila Yacoub) is in a state of conflicted grief. Traveling to the secluded home of her in-laws after the cremation service, the already tense family dynamic becomes something even darker when demonic forces are unleashed. The house becomes a survival battleground. Largely shedding the series trademark tension-cutting humor, “Evil Dead Burn” opts for a more twisted approach.Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting August 4‘Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour’ (Paramount+)
