Loved all the ones before it old and new and can confirm this installment is just as crazy, brutal, violent, jumpy and as intense. Just madness from start to end.” Another X user opined, “Evil Dead Burn rules. Granny is a diva! It’s so well done. Of course it’s nasty and mean but it’s also pretty funny. Sébastien Vaniček’s direction is so good. Loved all the ways the camera keeps moving. Some really fun shots. The sound design was great too. Some effects made me squirm. There are two really fun post-credit scenes so stay until the end.”
