Evil Dead Burn horror film set for July 2026 release

Evil Dead Burn, the sixth installment in the Evil Dead film series and the third standalone entry, is scheduled for theatrical release in July 2026. The film will debut in France and Italy on July 8, followed by a United States release on July 10.

Directed by Sébastien Vaniček and produced by Rob Tapert and series creator Sam Raimi, the supernatural horror film follows a family gathering at a secluded home that turns into a violent encounter with Deadites after an ancient demonic curse is unleashed. The production features a budget of $250 million and is supported by New Line Cinema, Screen Gems, and Ghost House Pictures.

Critical reception notes the film as a visually engrossing and relentlessly dark entry. While praised for its technical execution and suspense, some reviews suggest it lacks the playful tone found in previous installments, focusing instead on a grim and mean-spirited atmosphere.
