I've always loved the original Evil Dead trilogy. There's was something magical about the way they balanced hard horror with humour (but perhaps not comedy?) with a dissonance that emphasised both.
I'd say that the modern Evil Dead trilogy manages to walk the same tightrope. What they lack, however, is a quality that leaves them etched in the memory. I was shocked that this was the third in the series, and had to rack my brains to figure out whether or not I had seen the second (I have).
So yes, Burn is a decent romp, scary when it matters and funny elsewhere. It's recommended, but don't expect it to linger once its over.
