A horror film screening based on the Evil Dead franchise, following a woman who seeks solace with her in-laws but discovers her vows survive even in death.
Evil Dead Burn hit Cineworld in Southampton on Tuesday 4 August, the latest entry in the horror franchise that started with Sam Raimi's 1981 cult hit. That first one reimagined the Evil Dead as a story of a book of the dead and the chaos it unleashes, and this one keeps the family tradition of deadites and domestic disaster going.
The plot follows a woman who, after the loss of her husband, seeks solace with her in-laws. It's a quiet enough start, but things go south as they transform one by one into deadites, and she discovers that the vows she took in life survive even in death. It's that classic Evil Dead setup: a small group trapped together, the familiar turning into something monstrous, and a protagonist fighting her way through the wreckage.

If you're coming to it as a fan of the series, you'll recognise the hallmarks—the deadites, the gore, and the kind of cabin-in-the-woods tension that's been the franchise's bread and butter since the early days. If you're new to it, it's a good place to jump in, and it's showing at Cineworld in Southampton.
