Evil Dead Burn (18) Film Review from LondonNet
Washing dirty dishes and cutlery by hand could save your life. That’s the takeaway of French filmmaker Sebastien Vanicek’s relentlessly brutal and bloodthirsty instalment of the long-running horror franchise, which began rifling through the pages of the Book of the Dead in 1981 under the aegis of Sam Raimi. A rapidly decaying family home provides a pungent and conveniently crumbling backdrop to the flesh-ripping recriminations of Evil Dead Burn, including an exhilarating fight sequence shot in a single take from the perspective of a survivor crawling along the ground as carnage unfolds around them…
Alice (Souheila Yacoub) is numbed by the loss of her husband Will (George Pullar) in a fiery car accident. She blames herself for arguing with him in the street shortly before he drove away, fizzing with anger behind the wheel. The young widow is oblivious to a horrific chain of events at the crash site, which effectively condemned Will’s family to repeated attacks by demonic forces that answer the call of the ancient Necronomicon. Mired in grief, Alice reluctantly seeks solace with her in-laws in their isolated and decrepit home, staying close to sympathetic brother-in-law Joseph (Hunter Doohan) and his girlfriend Thya (Luciane Buchanan) who have always shown her kindness. Will’s parents Susan (Tandi Wright) and Edgar (Erroll Shand), however, and senile grandmother Polly (Maude Davey) are less welcoming to the sombre seclusion.
One by one, grieving kin are transformed into monstrous creatures called deadites. A reunion of tearful reminiscence, including a viewing of Alice and Will’s wedding video, degenerates into a hellish battle for survival around the tumbledown property. Thank goodness Edgar has a petrol-powered hedge trimmer stored in his workshop for just such an occasion.
Evil Dead Burn is the most intensely physical chapter of the series, punctuated by frenetic and bruising skirmishes that look sickeningly realistic in close-up on handheld cameras. Strong women proliferate on both sides of this war as screenwriters Vanicek and Florent Bernard crave our indulgence with some of the plot’s loopier excesses. Fight choreography and stunt performances are hugely impressive and directorial brio elevates the wince-inducing confrontations, including a disorienting showdown in a bathroom that rotates 180 degrees as a deadite walks up a wall and onto a ceiling in a single fluid motion.
A grisly opening sequence tethers events in Evil Dead Rise to this new gorefest and a car headrest and calligraphy pen are weaponised for nauseating thrills to ensure the stomach-churning carnage continues in earnest. Characters are stabbed, slashed and bludgeoned without mercy, reducing more than one cranium to a sticky pulp of bone, flesh and brain matter. If heaven is a place on Earth then, logically, so too must be hell. Welcome to purgatory as imagined by Vanicek and his team.
