Warner Bros. has released a new tickets-on-sale trailer for Evil Dead Burn, the next big-screen chapter in Sam Raimi’s legendary horror franchise.
This time, the nightmare begins with Alice, played by Souheila Yacoub, seeking comfort from her in-laws after the loss of her husband. She arrives at their secluded family home looking for grief, family and perhaps a little emotional support. Unfortunately, this is Evil Dead, so the gathering quickly turns into something far less therapeutic and much more likely to involve screaming, blood and people behaving very badly while possessed.

The official premise describes the film as a new chapter of “carnage and demonic mayhem,” with family members transforming into Deadites one by one. That gives Evil Dead Burn a wonderfully horrible setup: a family reunion where the awkward small talk is probably the least dangerous thing in the house. (picturehouses.com)
Sébastien Vaniček directs the film, following his breakout horror feature Infested. That choice makes sense for this franchise. Evil Dead has always needed directors willing to push horror into something physical, messy and almost absurdly intense. The series works best when it feels like the movie itself is attacking the audience, and Burn looks very ready to continue that tradition.
The cast includes Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan and Tandi Wright, with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert producing. It follows the modern standalone path of Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rise, keeping the mythology alive without simply retelling the same cabin-in-the-woods story again. (bloody-disgusting.com)
For fans of horror movies, this tickets-on-sale trailer is basically a warning label disguised as marketing. The Deadites are back, the family dynamic looks cursed beyond repair, and the film appears to understand exactly what people want from Evil Dead: inventive gore, nasty supernatural chaos and at least one scene that makes the whole cinema collectively regret eating popcorn.
Evil Dead Burn opens in U.S. theaters on July 10, 2026. UK cinema listings currently show screenings from July 9, 2026. (picturehouses.com)
