Evil Dead Burn opens July 10. Sébastien Vaniček, who made Infested at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, directed this sixth Evil Dead film. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert produced.

First reactions are calling it relentless nightmare fuel. Critics describe it as gloriously gory. Vaniček is bringing a European horror intensity to the Deadites that the franchise has not seen before.

For Evil Dead fans who want the franchise pushed further. For horror viewers who liked Raw or Martyrs and want to see that level of dread inside a studio film.

Watch Evil Dead Rise for franchise context. Or watch Infested first to understand what Vaniček does to a group of people trapped somewhere they cannot escape.

The French director who made spiders terrifying has now made Evil Dead terrifying again.
