Evil Dead Burn
Ridiculous dialogue and a completely predictable plot. The funniest part is how, for half the movie, nobody seems particularly bothered by the fact that the father is clearly possessed by some evil force. Even his own family barely seems concerned about it. Apparently having your dad taken over by supernatural evil is just a minor inconvenience.
And the grandma is on another level entirely - she seems to give absolutely zero f**ks about anything, even when there’s a literal bloody massacre happening right at her feet. Lol.
I really wish that they would take the evil Dead back to the original roots and the messed up humor about stuff. And just not focusing on the shock and horror aspects of the whole thing.
Evil Dead Burn mistakes randomness for chaos and gore for suspense. Its possession rules, character intelligence, and monster durability change from scene to scene, usually to force the next elaborate kill. The inconsistent logic makes the characters feel foolish and the Deadites less frightening, turning the movie into a loud, exhausting dumpster fire.
It's a fantastic horror movie. Don't get me wrong but if all this doesn't tie back into Ash Williams it's kind of a pointless story.
