The Evil Dead franchise is alive and well, bolstered by the critical and box office success of Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise last year. Sam Raimi and his fellow producers got on the ball lining up new films, eventually hiring Infested director Sébastien Vaniček to write and direct. While we still don’t know any story details, two things we do know is that it will arrive in 2026 and that it has a title: Evil Dead Burn.
The title was revealed in an Instagram post by Vaniček that shows a copy of the script’s front page. On the cover is the title, Evil Dead Burn, with a screenplay written by Vaniček and co-writer Florent Bernard. The film is also said to be based on Raimi’s The Evil Dead.
Plot details and casting remain under wraps. Vaniček has said a few things, however, telling the website Konbini that he wants his movie to be “nasty”…
“I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested. I’m going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven’t ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!”
Evil Dead Burn isn’t the only film in the franchise coming up. Last Stop In Yuma County director Francis Galluppi is on board for a new project. There’s no information on the status of that one right now.
