Once upon a gloriously grim time, a band of fearless amateur filmmakers gathered in the woods and conjured a monster: the Evil Dead film series. Sam Raimi seized the director’s spellbook, Bruce Campbell strapped on his boomstick, and together they unleashed three deliriously chaotic adventures that became cult treasures. As the decades rolled on, Raimi passed the torch to new sorcerers of cinema, each trusted to summon fresh horrors. And now, in 2026, the latest incantation—Evil Dead Burn—has erupted onto theater screens, drawing fans like moths to a demonic flame.

From IMDB comes the tale whispered in the shadows: “After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws. As one by one they transform into deadites, she comes to discover that the vows she took in life—survive even in death.” It’s a story stitched with grief, dread, and the kind of family reunion only the Evil Dead could make hilariously horrifying.

Guided by French filmmaker Sébastien Vanicek—whose insect‑infested nightmare Infested (2023) still crawls through viewers’ memories—the film was co-written with his longtime collaborator Florent Bernard. The cast, including Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey, dives headfirst into the carnage. Early watchers whisper that the movie is gloriously gory and savagely brutal, carrying the torch of French Extreme horror straight into American theaters. And now your cohosts, having braved the cinematic bloodbath themselves, return from the darkness to share what they found lurking inside.
