Joseph (Hunter Doohan) uncovers a mysterious hidden dagger, unleashing carnage, mayhem and deadites on his family.
Sam Raimi kick-started The Evil Dead franchise back in the 1980s and now it’s making a resurgence, with Evil Dead Burn coming out only three years after Evil Dead Rise.
This latest horror instalment, directed by French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, is a completely different story from Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise, although the longstanding Evil Dead lore connects them.
This film follows French widow Alice (Souheila Yacoub) as she reunites with her late American husband’s family at a remote lakeside house after the funeral.
Her brother-in-law Joseph (Hunter Doohan) has been reading his late grandfather Dr. Benjamin Price’s research and has learned about the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Book of the Dead) – an Evil Dead staple – as well as the existence of a dagger that can kill deadites – zombie-like entities possessed by a demonic spirit.
