What happens

Evil Dead Burn is a 2026 American supernatural horror film directed and co-written by Sébastien Vaniček, and produced by Rob Tapert and series creator Sam Raimi. It serves as a sequel to Evil Dead Rise (2023) and the sixth installment in the Evil Dead film series. The film stars Souheila Yacoub as a young woman who seeks solace with her in-laws following the death of her husband, as the family comes together in a secluded house. The gathering becomes a "family reunion from hell" as members gradually turn into Deadites. It also stars Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey in supporting roles. A sixth Evil Dead film was announced in February 2024, with Vaniček hired to direct a script he co-wrote with Florent Bernard, while Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert were producers, with Ghost House Pictures producing the project. In December 2024, Vaniček revealed the title to be Evil Dead Burn along with a release scheduled tentatively for 2026. Casting began in May 2025, while filming began in July and concluded in October that same year in New Zealand. Evil Dead Burn was theatrically released in France on July 8, 2026, followed by the United States on July 10, by Warner Bros. Pictures in North American territories, and by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Screen Gems banner internationally. The film received mixed reviews from critics, and has grossed $25 million worldwide on a budget of $20 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
