The Evil Dead Burn Trailer Will Make Even Hardened Horror Fans Wince

Now that's what I'm talking about. After a so-so teaser, the full "Evil Dead Burn" trailer here, and it looks gnarly as hell (complimentary). Once again, this latest entry in the long-running horror franchise strives to take the horror out of the "cabin in the woods" setting. "Evil Dead Rise" was set in a high-rise apartment building, while "Evil Dead Burn" seems to be relocating the action to a family home.

The results look pretty damn spectacular. Sébastien Vaniček, who helmed the creepy-crawly spider movie "Infested," seems to be pulling out all the stops here, loading the film up with an abundance of style that had me saying "Hell yeah." The premise finds a grieving family suffering at the hands of those pesky Deadites, and it looks like everyone is in for a bad time. Watch the trailer above!

Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" movie series has had quite the shelf-life. The original low-budget shockfest became a cult favorite, spawning the more comedic sequel "Evil Dead 2," followed by the delightfully wacky "Army of Darkness." Eventually, a gory reboot arrived, followed by the TV series "Ash vs Evil Dead." After that came "Evil Dead Rise," and now we have "Evil Dead Burn." Turning this franchise into an anthology series with new characters each time seems like a good approach, and while I'll always miss seeing Bruce Campbell's Ash up on the screen, I love what I'm seeing here.

This trailer goes hard on the pain and suffering (love that dishwasher bit!), and even the most hardened of horror fans are bound to wince at what's happening here. I was already curious about this one, but this trailer has made "Evil Dead Burn" one of my most-anticipated movies of the year.

In the film, "After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites — turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell — she comes to discover that the vows she took in life ... live on even in death." And if you want more, you're in luck: Another "Evil Dead" movie, "Evil Dead Wrath," is already in the works. In the meantime, "Evil Dead Burn" hits theaters on July 10, 2026.
