Evil Dead Burn

Evil Dead Burn is the year's most relentlessly gruesome horror entry, delivering a visceral ride that refuses to let up. After her husband's death, Alice seeks comfort in his estranged family, only to watch them transform one by one into ravenous creatures. The film leverages practical effects and a claustrophobic farmhouse setting to generate dread that feels both ancient and immediate. Earning a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and an $18.2 million opening weekend, it proves that old-school terror still sells. More unflinchingly brutal than The Invite's contained dinner-party suspense, this movie turns inherited trauma into flesh-eating chaos without losing its emotional core. At 104 minutes, it wastes no breath, and horror fans will find every splatter frame worth the ticket price.
