If you thought the cheese grater scene in Evil Dead Burn was the peak of “kitchenware-based trauma,” Sébastien Vaniček is here to hold your beer—and then probably smash the bottle over a Deadite’s head.
While a gruesome trailer recently melted brains at CinemaCon, a slightly tamer (but no less frantic) theatrical teaser for Evil Dead Burn has officially leaked online. Currently playing in theaters ahead of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, this “Green Band” version trades the gore for pure, unadulterated tension.
Cutlery: The New Chainsaw?
The leaked footage features Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two) crawling through a suburban nightmare while Deadites turn her home into a demolition derby. But it’s the CinemaCon descriptions that have everyone checking their homeowner’s insurance.
The trailer reportedly features a mother who is greeted at the door by a corpse with a car headrest impaled through its skull. (Spoiler: the corpse isn’t the one who stays dead). A sequence involving a dishwasher full of upright silverware and a very unfortunate young boy. Let’s say he gets a lot of “iron” in his diet when a Deadite decides to use his chest as a trampoline. It turns out suburbia is much scarier when the monsters aren’t just your HOA board.
The New Guardians of the Necronomicon
Sam Raimi continues his streak of hand-picking the most sadistic visionaries in horror to run his playground. After seeing the 2024 spider-fright Infested, Raimi tapped Sébastien Vaniček to write and direct this standalone entry.
The cast of potential victims includes Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), Hunter Doohan (Wednesday), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent), and Tandi Wright (Pearl).
While Bruce Campbell is sticking to executive producing (keeping the “Groovy” vibes alive from the safety of the sidelines), the practical gore and visceral energy suggest the Necronomicon is in very capable—albeit bloody—hands.
Mark the Calendar (In Blood)
Originally slated for later in the month, Evil Dead Burn has moved its release date up to July 10, 2026. Check out the snippet from the teaser below.
