Evil Dead Burn trailer and poster debut, film opens July 10
Warner Bros unveiled a red-band trailer and poster for Evil Dead Burn, directed by Sébastien Vaniček, and confirmed the film opens in theaters July 10, 2026. The trailer spotlights graphic gore, demonic possession, and a 'demonic family reunion' tagline that frames the movie as an especially brutal new chapter in the Evil Dead series. Footage emphasizes practical creature effects and claustrophobic, house-centered terror, signaling a big-screen horror spectacle. This matters because the studio is positioning the franchise to bring old-school physical scares and heavy gore back into summer theatrical play.
EVIL DEAD BURN. Watch the official trailer NOW. In theaters July 10, 2026. #EvilDeadBurn unleashes the franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date, blazing onto big screens with an all-new chapter of carnage and demonic mayhem.
Greg9Who places forks in the washing machine like that?
Nathan Hoover4If it doesn't scare AND make me laugh then fuck this BS.
Octo_Gnome3Man it pretty odd for a long running franchise to put A+ quality out especially over 40yrs in horror Evil Dead A+, Evil Dead 2 A+, Medevil Dead A+, Evil Dead 2010 A+, Ash v ED A+, ED Rise A+, & this looks pretty A+ to me already Also how has no one else responded with GROOVY?!
First poster for ‘EVIL DEAD BURN’. In theaters on July 10.
This looks like a blast. Maybe it's heretical but I do not need my later Evil Dead movies to be funny, since no one is going to do Raimi justice in that capacity anyway. Obviously we won't be short on gore and moments that are hard on the eyes! Hooray!
caffeine anxiety ego death11Once again I have to resist saying to myself "why would you read from the book like that ya big dummy" because the ultimate answer is always "because you don't have a movie otherwise"
Max Cairnduff2Evil Dead Rise was great. If this continues in that vein I’m here for it.
The Toronto Mans2Evil Dead is as much about style as it is about comedy so I don't mind style + horror to mix things up. Rise fucking rocked and had so many creative shots. Those kids got fucked up too so we need more movies that take massive swings like that.
