We do things differently in the UK so I suspect the hand's been deliberately removed via the BBFC or similar.
I also thought that the US release date for Burn was July the 10th?. I could be wrong on that but my poster says the 9th?.
edit: after a quick online check, it seems like the UK release date was a day earlier than the US release date.

It was released in different regions on the 7th, had early screenings on the 9th (which is how I saw it here in the US), but the official date is considered the 10th.
Fair point. Have you seen the Extended Cut of 2013? There is alot more nods n touches to the Original such as the ceremonial Dismemberment. I thought it was very well done but everyone is entitled to there own view . Feels like most Evil Dead movies now just want to show as much Chainsaw use as possible. I did appreciate the fact that Mia already had her own demons with addiction.
But the Score is amazing I will agree. I wish I could of seen this at the cinema on release the sound would of been fantastically scary .
Never ever seen Event Horizon I may give that a go later tonight . But you mentioned the Hellraiser Reboot which is something I flat out refuse to watch. Not because of the Female pinhead but how cheap and "netflixy" it looked .

I liked the Hellraiser reboot well enough. Here the main protagonist also battles addiction, which goes well with the pain/pleasure themes. My only problem is that I think that Hellraiser is a franchise that I only like in theory. I love the idea that the Cenobites just want to show you what they think is a good time and don't understand that for most of us it's just hell. But I feel like most movies don't really delve into that, even those that Clive Barker was a part of.
Event Horizon is a movie that I want to love because the premise is amazing, but it's directed very badly and there are some very jarring moments and character choices. Rest in peace Sam Neil, though. He was great in it, as he was in everything.

His episode was definitely one of the best. I could see that style of directing being tough for TV, but he would have a lot more leeway with a movie. And I know it's next to a zero percent chance of happening, but with all their attempts to tie the entire franchise together, it would be much more gratifying and redeeming if Raimi followed Wrath with something to wrap up the story. Anyway, a man can dream

The Evil Dead Burn Halloween Horror Nights merchandise collection is now LIVE!
First up, we have the Evil Dead Burn Acrylic Set. I understand through context clues that it's supposed to be Edgar and Max... but it doesn't look anything like them! Like, if the word Evil Dead Burn wasn't part of it, I would legit think it was some generic zombie guy and a dog. It's part of a larger carousel display piece with the other characters this year.
Then we have a shirt... proudly sporting the fan-made logo (that used the old Evil Dead font) and not the official one.
And then a baseball cap with the same fan logo.

Makes me appreciate Lee Cronin and Sébastien Vaniček more in that they are both from what I have heard and seen decent people who did their best to make their own movies, but Fede's whole career seems to be based on "nods n touches" to what came before and not just in relation to Evil Dead 2013... and would put Rise above 2013 if not for Jane's performance.
I'm ready for 2028 and more Wrath.

For me, it wasn't a bad film so much as just a bit depressing .. especially in the first 25 or so minutes .. a funeral at some sort of industrial estate, the sounds of a machine drowning out the service was deliberate ..
Our main young male star reminded me of a young Bruce Campbell from the first film which was good. He looked scared in the same way young Ash did. Deadite Dad talking himself into the window like a scene from Salam's Lot .. some editing choices gave me a good laugh but I can't remember what those were off the top of my head .. at the moment, it's a 5 out of 10 for me.
Let's look at Dawn Of The Dead if we're going for juicy kills .. helicopter head slice, screwdriver in the ear, full shotgun head explosion, machete in the head ... the list goes on and on and on and that's what Burn seemed to going for but didn't even come close ..
Bring on Wrath.

For me, it's the actor abuse and Fede thinking it somehow made the experience more authentic to what happened in TN when they filmed the original. Him continuing that attitude on DB says a lot. Apparently he backed off for his Alien movie but yeahh.
I'm gonna be back with deeper thoughts but as y'all well know, if there are no Evil Dead 2013 haters left in the world, then that means I'm dead.
ETA: they're cutting the Burn showings at my theater down to two slots starting Friday; planning on seeing it Sunday.

On a mildly boring (or amusing, take your pick) side note, it took four members of the cinema staff to work out how to print off physical tickets for us. I suppose they're so used to just tapping phones on customers phones these days that next to nobody else apart from myself who's a collector ever asks for paper these days. I was hoping they'd have 'EVIL DEAD BURN' on them but they've just got 'EVIL DEAD' unfortunately. Still, something else for my collection ..
Just to be a nerd, I was wearing my Studio Canal Evil Dead 2 T Shirt for the showing and me and the Mrs were bashing each other with a mini plastic chainsaw I own
.. like you do ..
After the credits, I spotted a couple of women leaving, both in their 60's and one wearing the US poster T Shirt of the original The Evil Dead so it was:
"Respect ... 5 out of 10. How about you?" .. she smiled and said "EIGHT!"

My local small cinema (the one that had the Evil Dead Marathon last year) has nice printed ticked, but it was closed for repair for a couple of months so I had to go to a multiplex where they print you basically a receipt, which is also a ticket. Very ugly and uninspired.On a mildly boring (or amusing, take your pick) side note, it took four members of the cinema staff to work out how to print off physical tickets for us.

I've (hopefully still got them) got a re print of the Palace UK Quad for the original The Evil Dead and an original UK Quad for the 2013 re make posters.
I left them round a flat that I briefly lived in a couple of years ago. It's my fault for not retrieving them sooner but I had a quick look around there yesterday and couldn't spot the posters. My ex flatmate has no interest in horror films but he is hard up for cash so I'm hoping he hasn't sold them.
At least I've still got my uber rare Palace Pictures ED2 letter box poster that EvilDeadChainsaws helped me re find.
edit: It's a good job I didn't accuse my old flatmate to his face. I'm relieved and embarrassed to admit that I've just found my missing posters in my house instead.

Printed tickets do say Burn here, but when I walked in to buy a ticket in person the lady told me that the computer screen used for picking a seat was not a touch screen as I squinted at it (eyes are getting worse) and promptly handed over cash another rarity... and when I knew where I wanted to sit all I had to do was tell her the letter and number and she would put it in.

Luckily I was able to see Burn on holiday in a small(ish) town's outdoor cinema that had gave me this very nice old-school ticket.
By the way the Czech names for these movies are as inconsistent as the franchise itself. The first movie and the 2013 remake are called Lesní duch (basically "The Forest Spirit") but Evil Dead II is then called Smrtelné zlo 2 (something like "Deadly Evil 2" or "Mortal Evil 2", which is the more literal translation, but also the one that doesn't make as much sense). Army of Darkness is Armáda temnot, which is pretty much spot on, Evil Dead Rise is Smrtelné zlo: Probuzení ("Deadly Evil: Awakening") and Evil Dead Burn is Smrtelné zlo: V plamenech ("Deadly Evil: In Flames").
The weirdest thing is that Ash vs Evil Dead doesn't even have a Czech title, even though it went through Czech distribution.
