Evil Dead Burn is a film that absolutely hooked me right back into the horror franchise with a curiosity because each and every time they make an Evil Dead movie they just don’t seem to miss!
Today STUDIOCANAL announced the Home Premiere of the legendary horror franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date, EVIL DEAD BURN, on 24 August. It will also be released on 4K Ultra HD as a SteelBook and Ultimate Collector’s Edition, two global exclusives for deadites to get their teeth stuck into, Blu-ray and DVD, on 12 October.
The SteelBook features artwork by Adam Middleton in collaboration with director Vaniček, and the Ultimate Collector’s Edition, with exclusive artwork by Sophie Bland, is presented in a rigid box with magnetic opening, bursting with gruesome goodies including storyboards, Book of the Dead pages, alternate poster art cards, a production notes book, and two posters. A set that no true Evil Dead fan should be without.
EVIL DEAD BURN is directed by Sébastien Vaniček (Infested) and stars Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), Tandi Wright (Pearl), Hunter Doohan (Wednesday), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent), Errol Shand (The Clearing), George Pullar (Deadloch), Maude Davey (The Dry) and Greta Van Den Brink (Territory).
It is written by Florent Bernard and Sébastien Vaniček, and produced by Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, with executive producers Romel Adam, Bruce Campbell, Lee Cronin and Jose Canas. Vaniček is joined behind the camera by director of photography Philip Lozano (Cobweb), production designer Nick Connor (Ash vs Evil Dead), editor Maxime Caro (Marion) and costume designer Sarah Voon (Evil Dead Rise).
Packed with outrageously gruesome effects, and some truly jaw-dropping shocks that will have you screaming loud enough to wake the dead, EVIL DEAD BURN stands proudly alongside the original 1981 classic, and is a superbly entertaining addition to the Evil Dead franchise.
The film is worth a watch for that end credits scene alone. They change up the cast, the locations and the deadites but yet still deliver terrifyingly new ways to creep out the audience and that deserves to be celebrated.
Whilst that end credits does re-write the rulebook a little it’ll be interesting to see how the next one will approach that, and of course, there will be a next one.
4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray special features:
- The Hot Shot: Evil Dead Burn’s One-Shot Sequence
- Evil Dead: Blazing the Trail
- This One’s Gonna Burn
EVIL DEAD BURN will be available to buy and rent from digital platforms on 24 August, and to own on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD from 12 October.
