\n\tOne of the year\u2019s scariest movies will be ready to stream before Halloween: \u201cEvil Dead Burn<\/a>\u201d will be released on HBO Max on Oct. 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe third movie since the \u201cEvil Dead\u201d series reboot in 2013 (and sixth film in the franchise overall) had its theatrical release July 10. Directed by S\u00e9bastien Vani\u010dek, \u201cEvil Dead Burn\u201d stars Souheila Yacoub (\u201cDune: Part Two\u201d) as a woman looking for comfort from her in-laws after her husband\u2019s death.
