Evil Dead Burn is one of the best directed horror movies of the year. It's gnarly, it's fast, and it feels like it has something to prove. In this episode, we're exploring every aspect of the gloriously mean-spirited hunger at the heart of this movie, as well as some problems with runtime, fear factor, and creature design. We also work through some unorthodox comparisons, ranging all the way from Krampus to Succession, before forming some theories about "half deadites" and then zooming out to consider the past and future of this beloved franchise.
