Miss the raging brutality of ‘Evil Dead Burn’ in theaters? You’ll soon be able to stream it on HBO Max this October.
Evil Dead Burn may be the most hotly disputed film in the franchise. Some, like myself, thought it was a mean mother of an Evil Dead movie that rages with an epic fury from beginning to end and never lets up. Others hated how nasty it is. I get that. It’s a vibe that’s certainly not for everyone.
If you’re still on the fence or haven’t seen it, you’ll get your chance soon with Burncoming to HBO Max on October 2nd!
In the film, after the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites—turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell—she comes to discover that the vows she took in life live on… even in death.
Sébastien Vaniček (Infested) directed from a script he co-wrote with Florent Bernard.

Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi produced. Executive producers are Bruce Campbell, Romel Adam, Sarah Spurway, Jose Cañas, and Lee Cronin.
Back in July, Vaniček told Dread that, with Evil Dead Burn, he sought to “make the most violent and the most brutal” Evil Dead film. He succeeded and then some.
In my review, I wrote that Evil Dead Burn “assaults the senses as the most vicious Evil Dead yet”.
Agree or disagree with that statement, there’s no denying that Burn revs up like a chainsaw and brings the pain. It’s an excellent way to kick off October as an extreme jolt of terror.
