The Necronomicon is opening its pages once again, and this time, the flames are coming straight to your living room!
Billed as the franchise’s most savage and terrifying entry to date, director Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn has spent the last few weeks scorching the theatrical box office. Now, it’s time to bring the Deadites home. The fire-fueled horror hit is officially making its digital debut this August.
A Family Reunion from Hell
It’s produced by franchise legends Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. The King himself, Bruce Campbell, and Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin serve as executive producers.
The story follows a grieving woman who seeks solace with her in-laws at their secluded countryside estate following the loss of her husband. Unfortunately for her, family gatherings are stressful enough before everyone starts getting possessed. As her relatives transform one by one into bloodthirsty Deadites, she learns the hard way that “till death do us part” was merely a suggestion.
The film stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan (Wednesday), Luciane Buchanan, and Erroll Shand. Vaniček and Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
