New Line has unveiled the first trailer for Evil Dead Burn, the latest installment in its classic horror franchise Evil Dead, which is slated for release in theaters on July 10.
Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, the filmmaker best known for the spider horror flick Infested, Evil Dead Burn follows a woman who, after the loss of her husband, seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into the undead spirits known as Deadites — turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell — she comes to discover that the vows she took in life… live on even in death.
Warner Bros. unveils the Evil Dead Burn trailer after unveiling footage for the room only at last month’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas. The film comes on the heels of Evil Dead Rise, an installment directed by Lee Cronin, which was originally intended for release on HBO Max, but pivoted to a theatrical release in 2023, and wound up grossing around $147 million worldwide. New Line Cinema and Sony Pictures co-financed the sequel, with longtime franchise producer Rob Tapert and series creator Sam Raimi producing. Exec producers included Romel Adam, Jose Cańas, and Cronin, as well as Bruce Campbell, who originated the role of Ash in the series.
Warner Bros. is handling Evil Dead Burn‘s North American distribution, with StudioCanal distributing in the UK, Metropolitan distributing in France, and Sony handling other international territories.
The Evil Dead is of course the horror comedy franchise created by Raimi, going back to 1981’s same-name film starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, a combatant of various supernatural entities. That film grew into a trilogy, also spurring the creation of Starz TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead, and a number of other projects over the years.
Evil Dead Burn stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Errol Shand, Maude Davey, George Pullar, and Greta Van Den Brink. It’s one of two Evil Dead films coming up, the other being Evil Dead Wrath from Francis Galluppi, which stars Charlotte Hope, Jessica McNamee, Zach Gilford, Josh Helman, Ella Newton, Australian newcomer Ella Oliphant, and Elizabeth Cullen. We were first to report on both projects.
