THE MOVIE \u2014 2\u00bc\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot synopsis:<\/strong> 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\u2014turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell\u2014she comes to discover that the vows she took in life, live on even in death.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Full disclosure, the supernatural horror genre isn\u2019t a favorite of mine and with few exceptions (The Exorcist<\/em>, The Conjuring<\/em> and yes, The Evil Dead<\/em>) I just don\u2019t find them all that entertaining primarily because the filmmakers and writers play fast and loose with the rules in order to get from point A to point B in the plot and provide some scares along the way, the latter rarely does it for me. I did appreciate many elements of the 2013 reboot-ish Evil Dead<\/em> though remember little about 2023\u2019s Evil Dead Rise<\/em> only that the high-rise apartment setting was a cool wrinkle at the very least.<\/p>\n

With Rise<\/em>\u2019s box office success ($147M worldwide off of a ~$20M budget), it\u2019s no surprise a follow-up would be quickly greelit. Now we get Evil Dead Burn<\/em><\/strong>, the seventh installment in the franchise and by far the meanest of the bunch, a movie I had trouble sitting through not so much disgusted by the gore (that\u2019s a staple in the series after all), but watching characters I couldn\u2019t care less about thus when the Deadites take possession I didn\u2019t mind if they died or not.<\/p>\n

The film was directed by French filmmaker S\u00e9basten Vanicek, who apparently impressed producer Sam Raimi, to nab the job. Personally, while on the technical front this movie does excel and includes a well done one-shot sequence. But that\u2019s the only praise I can place on this movie.<\/p>\n

Evil Dead Burn<\/em><\/strong> is unfortunately a dour, unpleasant movie to sit through. There\u2019s some of that Evil Dead<\/em> dark humor but he seemed to be crammed in there out of obligation to the series and those couple scenes felt out of place. As I said, I\u2019m not a huge fan of the series or anything but I at least want to be mildly entertained but with Burn<\/em><\/strong> it was a chore to sit through.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Warner Bros. unleashes Evil Dead Burn<\/em><\/strong> onto 4K Ultra HD and is presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 2160p high-definition transfer. As you can imagine, this is a very dark looking movie and other than maybe a few pops early on and in the daytime, the remained is devoid of great, vibrant colors gearing more towards the darker elements. That said, detail is relatively sharp so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

The included Dolby Atmos track does light things up with great depth as the Deadites take control while the dialogue comes across with great clarity throughout. It\u2019s by far the most impressive element of this disc.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
