  'The Invite,' 'Evil Dead Burn' reviews

  Jul 17, 202640 minS4

  Hosts Kevin Schwaller and Ema Sasic return with a chaotic double feature serving dinner-party discomfort, demonic mayhem and absolutely no peace. First, "The Invite" gathers Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton for the kind of evening that makes faking an emergency feel completely reasonable. Then, "Evil Dead Burn" brings grief, gore and enough Deadite nonsense to ruin family reunions forever. From awkward oversharing to arterial spraying, Kevin and Ema determine which gathering is more horrifying.
