The Evil Dead franchise is back—and it’s not holding anything back this time.

The first teaser trailer for Evil Dead Burn quietly premiered in theaters over the weekend, playing ahead of The Mummy, and it’s now officially online for everyone to experience.

Originally slated to hit theaters on July 24, 2026, the film has been bumped up and will now arrive earlier than expected, with Evil Dead Burn set to possess theaters on July 10, 2026.

And yes—fans are getting it two weeks sooner.

The teaser itself is brief but brutal. In just a few seconds, it delivers exactly what you’d expect: chaos, blood, and Deadite horror. The standout moment is a relentless, unbroken shot of a young woman desperately trying to escape a house completely overrun by Deadites, as mutilated bodies crash around her in pure nightmare fuel fashion.

What’s the Story?

According to the official synopsis, Evil Dead Burn promises to be the most savage chapter yet:

After losing her husband, a grieving woman retreats to her in-laws’ isolated home in search of comfort. But that refuge quickly turns into a nightmare as her family members begin transforming into Deadites one by one. What should have been a quiet gathering spirals into a full-blown family reunion from hell—forcing her to confront a terrifying truth: some vows don’t end with death.

Who’s Behind the Madness?

The film is directed by Sébastien Vaniček, who made waves in the horror scene with his 2024 debut Infested—a film that even Sam Raimi took notice of.

Cast

The lineup includes:

• Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two)
• Hunter Doohan (Wednesday)
• Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent)
• Tandi Wright (Pearl)
• George Pullar (It Only Takes a Night)

And this isn’t the end—another installment, Evil Dead Wrath, is already lined up for release on April 7, 2028.

If this teaser is any indication, Evil Dead Burn is gearing up to deliver one of the most intense entries the franchise has ever seen.
