Evil Dead Burn sequel draws mixed reviews in Spain and Ireland

The horror franchise Evil Dead continues with "Posesión infernal: En llamas" (Evil Dead Burn), the sixth entry in the series. Directed by French filmmaker Sébastien Vanicek and co‑written with Florent Bernard, the film stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan and others. Reviewers note its emphasis on graphic gore, dark humor and a new family‑drama twist, but criticize it for lacking the originality of earlier installments, particularly the 2023 reboot by Lee Cronin.

Sam Raimi, producer of the original trilogy, remains involved as a producer, while the story returns to the franchise’s signature demon‑filled mythology with references to the cursed Necromicón book and a magical dagger. The film is positioned as a bold, blood‑soaked continuation that pushes the series toward a more extreme tone, though opinions differ on its success relative to its predecessors.
