Evil Dead Burn is the weakest of the franchise while still containing enough of what makes the series worthwhile to frustrate rather than disappoint entirely. Vaniček is clearly a capable filmmaker and there is genuine craft here alongside the genuine misses.

The Furious is a brutal, gory, creative, pacy, staggeringly well choreographed achievement and certainly one of the best martial arts action films I have seen… since well ever.

With the full line-up officially announced and the first screening occurring just next week, it’s time to get excited for 2026’s edition of Fantasia International Film Festival.
