In this new chapter, Alice heads to her in‑laws’ secluded house after her husband’s funeral. The meal held in his memory spirals into nightmare as the family members slowly turn into demonic creatures. The story ties the family horror to the vows Alice spoke at her wedding, and those promises seem to reach beyond death.
Evil Dead Burn marks the arrival of Sébastien Vaniček in a franchise long anchored in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. The French filmmaker also handles the screenplay with Florent Bernard. In the cast, Souheila Yacoub stars as Alice, while Hunter Doohan plays Joseph and Luciane Buchanan portrays Thya.
The film targets viewers who crave a nerve-wracking horror story rooted in a franchise known for demonic possession and bloody, kinetic moments. It may be less suitable for those sensitive to graphic violence or horror tales centered on family and mourning.
The official trailer, in its original language with French subtitles, for Evil Dead Burn offers a glimpse of the atmosphere of this new installment.
An unreleased clip from the film was also unveiled ahead of its theatrical release.
