Thescreescore – Sébastien Vaniček, the director handpicked by Sam Raimi himself, has announced that filming is officially underway for Evil Dead Burn, the next installment in the wildly successful horror franchise. This follows the box office triumph of Evil Dead Rise, which raked in $147 million against a modest $19 million budget, proving the enduring appeal of the Deadites. Vaniček, known for his chilling arachnid-infested feature Infested, brings a unique perspective to the franchise, promising a "nasty film, a film that hurts." Thescreescore.com learned that the film boasts a stellar cast including Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), Hunter Doohan (Daredevil: Born Again), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent), and Tandi Wright (Pearl). With a release date set for 2026, the production’s commencement a full year out suggests a meticulously planned marketing campaign is already underway, capitalizing on the renewed fan frenzy.
This isn’t just one film; it’s a two-part horror extravaganza. Following Evil Dead Burn, another untitled Evil Dead film is in development under the direction of Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop In Yuma County), another director chosen by Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures. This strategic approach ensures the franchise maintains its unique blend of terrifying thrills while exploring new creative avenues.
Vaniček’s vision for Evil Dead Burn promises a brutal and visceral experience, pushing the boundaries of the franchise’s signature gore. His commitment to delivering a truly unsettling film suggests a departure from the campier elements of previous entries, aligning more closely with the unrelenting intensity of Evil Dead Rise. This strategic shift could be the key to not only critical acclaim but also continued box office dominance.
