The highly anticipated trailer for the upcoming horror film 'Evil Dead Burn' has finally been released, taking audiences back into the dreaded and terrifying world of the franchise. Directed by Sebastien Vanicek, this film arrives as the sixth installment in the popular 'Evil Dead' series.
Official Logline and Trailer Details
According to Variety, the official logline for 'Evil Dead Burn' states: "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." The trailer opens with a mother at home being interrupted by a knock at the door. It is then revealed that the guest is an undead corpse with chopped-off fingers and a car headrest through her skull. The trailer then shows a car accident that caused the horrifying injury, followed by a Deadite zombie drinking candle wax and another gut-wrenching encounter with a knife-filled dishwasher.
