Once the fuse is lit, the horror never truly extinguishes in Evil Dead Burn. Alice Price (Souheila Yacoub) is mourning the untimely death of her husband, William Price (George Pullar) and has reunited at his cremation with his dysfunctional family out in the barren nothingness of middle America. The Prices have their own demons before even one utterance of the incantations that spew forth the forces which roam the forest and the dark bowers of man's domain.
Headed up by oppressive patriarch Edgar (Erroll Shand), this family seem beleaguered by familial darkness stemming back to a family lineage of Kandarian research which appears to be rotting their home and the family itself from the inside out. Resentment and distrust permeate through every tortuous conversation as the family try to pick the bones of Alice and William's relationship, turning a blind-eye to his many faults and failures as a man and as a husband – laying the blame at Alice's feet for his passing.
