2026 brings us Evil Dead Burn, and director Sébastien Vaniček ushered in the new year with a peek inside the Necronomicon.
Pictured below, the Book of the Dead page features “Kunda” — part of the incantation that summons the Kandarian demons — scrawled across it.
The sixth film in the horror franchise will possess theaters on July 24 via New Line and Warner Bros.
Plot details remain under wraps, but Vaniček previously said, “I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested. I’m going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven’t ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!”
Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), Hunter Doohan (“Wednesday”), Luciane Buchanan (“The Night Agent”), and Tandi Wright (Pearl) star.
Vanicek penned the script with his Infested co-writer Florent Bernard.
Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi and franchise producer Rob Tapert produce via their Ghost House Pictures. Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell and Evil Dead Rise filmmaker Lee Cronin executive produce alongside Romel Adam and Jose Canas, both of whom worked on Evil Dead Rise.
Another new Evil Dead movie is in development from writer-director Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County).
