EVIL DEAD BURN MOVIE REVIEW
The sixth entry (I say 7th since I am counting the great tv series Ash vs The Evil Dead) in the consistently good Evil Dead horror franchise is here and fans are excited. As has become the tradition, producers Raimi, Tapert, and Campbell have pulled from the horror indie scene a recent success story, Sébastien Vaniček (Infested), to helm the entry. After a brief and brutal beginning sequence that follows from the end of the previous entry Evil Dead Rise, our story moves to a nightclub where Joseph (Hunter Doohan), his girlfriend Thya (Luciane Buchanan) are celebrating Joseph’s birthday at his brother Will’s (George Pullar) nightclub. Unfortunately, Will and his French wife Alice (Souheila Yacoub) are not getting along great and after a big fight, Will drunkenly takes to the road in his car. Along the way he has an unfortunate encounter with our deadites from the beginning of the film and that’s it for Will. Now, the movie really begins as the survivors meet up at the old decaying house in the middle of nowhere that Joseph has inherited from his dead grandfather that his mom (Tandi Wright) and dad (Erroll Shand) don’t like to talk about. Apparently grandpa had some deadite experience in his past and has quite the collection of related stuff up in the attic. Here’s where things really take a turn from the other films: the deadites seem to actually have a goal and a plan here and it involves something that ol’ dead grandad has in his collection. Before you know it there’s goo, gore, and gross-outs galore as the deadites wreak havoc. Chris, Wright, Bret, and Marco gather to read aloud the mysterious latin phrases they found in that book in the basement to see what happens.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Deliberations of Doom)
Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar and theater management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others).
Wright Sulek (The Other Boss, Trash in the Can, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, One Man’s Trash, Screener Squad)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox. As of 2024, Wright has now been inducted into the Austin Film Critics Association as well as co-owns the One of Us network with Chris Cox.
Bret Dorman (Necromancer, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Bret Dorman was forged in the frost-bound realms of Rochester, New York, tempered in the iron winds of Chicago and the marble-shadowed courts of the Greater DC dominion, before casting his banner beneath the blazing sun of Austin, Texas. There he found not only fellowship in the revels of cinema and story, but his fiercest ally and beloved wife, Sonia Santamaria, with whom he roams the wide roads of the world in restless adventure. Though he lends his voice boldly to the chronicles of film with Necromancer Podcast, he is no mere teller of tales — for he has wrought sagas of his own in moving shadow and light, including Godzilla P.I., The World’s Best, and Violence of the Sun. In his hall dwell three cunning feline familiars — Johnny, Tony, and Ringo — and when not questing abroad, he and his companions wage noble battles of wit and strategy in games both tabletop and arcane.
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“I’m not a film critic. I just play one on the Internet.”
