Bruce Campbell revealed on The Adam Carolla Show that he has an incurable but treatable cancer and has a five-year prognosis, a reality he says he’s choosing to live with rather than dwell on.

In Evil Dead Burn, the sixth entry, the gonzo humor gives way to a stand-alone, tense family-horror drama propelled by practical effects. Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, it centers on a toxic family dynamic invaded by demonic forces, with standout performances—especially Souheila Yacoub as Alice—delivering a brutal, gruesome atmosphere that fuses gore with emotional conflict. While lighter, prankish notes are absent, the film achieves effective gross-out guignol and leaves questions about how to kill the Deadites, offering a darker, more serious addition to the franchise.
Germain Lussier’s io9 review praises Evil Dead Burn as a brutal, relentlessly gory entry in the Sam Raimi franchise, driven by top-tier practical effects and bone-rattling sound design that make the violence feel palpable. While the family dynamics and some plot beats are uneven, the film escalates into nonstop Deadite carnage with inventive long takes and a house-as-a-chambered stage for the horror. The performances by Edgar and Alice standouts amid stronger gore-than-character storytelling. Fans of horror will likely embrace it as a crucial installment; stay for the post-credits scenes. In theaters July 10.
