What you need to know: Evil Dead Burn opens Friday. Director Sébastien Vaniček made the French spider horror film Infested in 2023. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert handed him the Evil Dead franchise.
Why it matters: First reactions from early screenings describe it as mean, nasty, and the most brutal entry in the series. Gross, insane, and exceptionally satisfying are also in the reviews. That tracks for a franchise that does not do gentle.
Who should see it: Horror fans who want the real thing. If Evil Dead Rise worked for you, this is the next one.
See this first: Evil Dead Rise is streaming now. Watch it before Friday.
Group chat take: Vaniček made spiders terrifying. Now he gets the Deadites.
