First Clip for Evil Dead Burn Shows Graphic Candle‑Wax Scene Ahead of July 10 Release

The studio's early footage emphasizes director Sébastien Vaniček's hard‑R body‑horror approach and signals an intensified marketing push ahead of the film's opening.

Overview

  • The first official clip, released June 7–8, depicts a Deadite drinking molten candle wax, being locked in a basement, and a more threatening Deadite arriving outside with a demonic dog.
  • Sébastien Vaniček directed and co-wrote the film with Florent Bernard, and Souheila Yacoub leads a cast that includes Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, and Luciane Buchanan.
  • New Line Cinema and Sony Pictures are co‑financing the movie, with Sony handling international distribution and Canal Plus and Metropolitan covering the U.K. and France respectively.
  • Producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi remain attached as franchise stewards while the promotional rollout has ramped up to position this entry as one of the franchise's most violent and director‑driven films.
  • Evil Dead Burn opens July 10, 2026, and the studio has already scheduled another franchise entry, Evil Dead Wrath, for April 7, 2028, expanding the series beyond this summer's release.
