Bottoms up! The latest clip for Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn could make your throat feel sore as one of the deadites in the film tips back a glass of hot wax. It’s not so much the visuals that get me, but the sound. I’m not opposed to a little wax play, but pouring a bubbling cup of the molten liquid down your gullet is a step too far. Still, Evil Dead Burn looks more insane with every new bit of footage the studio puts forth, and some say it’s the most violent installment of the franchise yet.
What happens in the new Evil Dead Burn clip?
In the new Evil Dead Burn clip, a deadite that’s infiltrated a family’s home terrorizes them by proposing the most f**ked up toast, and follows her speech by tipping a glass of hot wax down her decaying throat. After this grotesque display, the deadite lunges in attack before being shoved down a flight of stairs and into a basement for safekeeping. Then, just as the family thinks they might have a shot at escape, they find another deadite on their front lawn, his face all too familiar, and choosing to keep their distance is more difficult than you would assume.
What do we know about Evil Dead Burn?
New Line Cinema and Sony Pictures are co-financing the film, which Vaniček is directing from a screenplay he wrote with Florent Bernard. Sony will distribute internationally, with Canal Plus distributing in the UK and Metropolitan distributing in France.
Details on the story Vaniček will be telling in Evil Dead Burn have been kept under wraps up to this point, but he has said that he has complete creative control on his Evil Dead movie, and intended to give it a French twist. Now, we have a synopsis: Evil Dead Burn 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. After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites—turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell—she comes to discover that the vows she took in life… live on even in death.
Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn isn’t the only Evil Dead movie on the way. Two months after he was hired to make his movie, the rights holders also hired Francis Galluppi, who just made his feature directorial debut with the crime thriller The Last Stop in Yuma County, to write and direct his own Evil Dead flick, which is called Evil Dead Wrath. An animated series follow-up to Ash vs. Evil Dead is also in the works.
