In my opinion , Rise only did well due to How well Received Evil dead 2013 did . Alot of non evil dead fans mainly critics wrote it off before its release mainly due to the absence of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. Even my own friends who grew up on evil dead said " it wont be as good as the original". But i think it surprised alot of people and caught them off Guard . Becoming more of a Sleeper Hit and Cult Favourite. The Gore and Story was actually Solid. So when Evil Dead Rise Came around , i think alot of people (including myself) thought we was going to be getting another emotional roller-coaster, gut wrenching edition to the legend of the Book. Instead it felt very empty and personally left me feeling like Rise was making light of been a Deadite and not taking its self very seriously.
I think the low numbers of Evil Dead Burn are due to Evil Dead Rise still been fresh in the paying publics memories.
