Zero Dark Nerdy

Zero Dark Nerdy is back with another blood-soaked deep dive, and this time the Deadites brought their A-game. On this episode we're breaking down Evil Dead Burn, the latest entry in one of modern horror's most reliably brutal franchises — and yeah, it delivered.

We get into why this might be the most grotesque and extreme installment in the series to date, the relentless kill-kill-kill pacing that never gives you a second to breathe (let alone get bored), and the genuinely stunning cinematography that elevates the carnage into something almost beautiful. We also unpack that post-credits scene and what it might be setting up for the franchise's future.

Then we zoom out: 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most fun, competitive, and creative years horror has seen in a long time, so we're ranking Evil Dead Burn against everything else we've watched this year and talking about what's got us most hyped on the horizon — including Werewulf and Clayface.

If you love your horror nasty, gorgeous, and unapologetic, this one's for you.
