About Evil Dead Burn
Evil Dead Burn is the sixth film in the Evil Dead saga that Sam Raimi began with his low-budget 1981 cult classic. Directed by Sébastien Vaniček — hired by Raimi after his acclaimed creature feature Infested — it is a standalone story in the vein of 2023's Evil Dead Rise, so newcomers can jump in without homework. Raimi and Rob Tapert produce through Ghost House Pictures, with franchise star Bruce Campbell on board as an executive producer.
The setup is pure Evil Dead: after a family death, relatives gather at a secluded house for what one tagline calls a "family reunion from hell," only for the group to be picked apart as members turn into snarling, possessed Deadites. Expect the series' trademark mix of grisly practical effects, demonic camerawork and gallows humour, anchored by a cast led by Souheila Yacoub and Hunter Doohan. Warner Bros. handles the US release while Sony distributes much of the world.
Evil Dead Burn opens in US theaters on July 10, 2026, after debuting a couple of days earlier in France and Italy on July 8. Horror fans tend to count down the final weeks before a release like this, so the days, hours and minutes on the clock above tick toward opening night.
