Evil Dead Burn Movie Ready to Terrorize Cinemas: Everything You Need to Know

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - The highly anticipated supernatural horror film, Evil Dead Burn, is scheduled to hit the big screen in July 2026.

It marks the third standalone entry, following "Evil Dead" (2013) and "Evil Dead Rise" (2023), and the sixth installment in the "Evil Dead" film series overall.

Sébastien Vaniček is directing and co-writing the screenplay for "Evil Dead Burn."

Series creator Sam Raimi personally selected Vaniček to direct the film after being impressed with his directorial debut, "Infested" (2023).

Warner Bros. Pictures has released an official trailer featuring gruesome scenes, including severed fingers and a painful encounter with a knife-filled dishwasher.

A pre-screening of the film was also held on February 24, 2026.

"Evil Dead Burn" centers on a woman who, after the loss of her husband, seeks solace with her in-laws at their remote family home.

However, this family gathering quickly turns into a "family reunion from hell" as one by one the family members are transformed into Deadites.

In the chaos, the woman discovers that the vows she made in life remain alive even in death.

The film's main cast includes Souheila Yacoub as Alice, Tandi Wright as Susan, and Hunter Doohan as Joseph.

Other cast members in "Evil Dead Burn" include Luciane Buchanan as Thya, Erroll Shand as Edgar Price, Maude Davey as Polly, George Pullar as Will, and Greta Van Den Brink.

The film is produced by Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi through their Ghost House Pictures banner.

Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin also serve as executive producers.

The screenplay was co-written by Sébastien Vaniček and Florent Bernard.

The production companies involved in this project are New Line Cinema, Screen Gems, and Ghost House Pictures.

The cinematography is handled by Philip Lozano, while editing is handled by Maxime Caro.

The film's theatrical release date is July 8, 2026, in France and Italy, followed by the United States on July 10, 2026.

Previously, "Evil Dead Burn" was scheduled for release on July 24, 2026.

Sam Raimi has implemented a strategy in the "Evil Dead" franchise of selecting promising new filmmakers, giving them the opportunity to bring their own unique twists to the series.

This approach has previously proven successful with "Evil Dead" (2013) directed by Fede Álvarez and "Evil Dead Rise" (2023) directed by Lee Cronin.

As the sixth installment, "Evil Dead Burn" is not the only film in development.

A seventh film in the franchise, titled "Evil Dead Wrath," is also in development and is scheduled for release on April 7, 2028.

"Evil Dead Wrath" will be directed and written by Francis Galluppi, with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert returning as producers.
