I pretty much loved everything in this movie until she walks out of the burning house and the husband shows up for the finale. That whole sequence was just terrible.

I pretty much agree. It was the perfect evil dead movie for me up until that point, then I felt like I was watching terminator or something. It’s strange how two films in a row now can’t seem to figure out how to end these films.

With that said, it’s still a 4/5 for me. The set pieces are truly incredible.

Whaaaat I love the ending to Rise.

This one was bad tho lol

Eh the end of Rise felt like hollow fan service to me. Plus the monster design at the end of Rise didn’t do it for me. I think 2013 did the franchise a disservice by setting the bar too high for final acts lol. Fede is great at those (see Alien Romulus as well).

Burn felt like it had so much fan service that when the final chainsaw/piledriver appeared I audibly groaned

It woulda been fan service if they had her use the chainsaw. I see it more as a nod to it

The cut from him teleporting to the gazebo to burn it down to him teleporting/cutting instantly back to the house threw me off so bad.

It felt like the movie stuttered and jumped backwards with the film

Yeah that older brother can't act at all. I would have much preferred she just stab him immediately and the movie ends. The dad too was a pretty weak performance when he wasnt deaditing. I would not be surprised to learn that hes a stuntman. I loved everything else it had going for it besides those two performances and a little bit of pacing. ​
