Following the recent release of a green band teaser, we have two new promo images for Evil Dead Burn.
The first features the family at the center of the story (before anyone reads from the Necronomicon, presumably), while the second spotlights actress Luciane Buchanan as a Deadite drinking candle wax!
The official synopsis reads: "After losing her husband, a woman seeks comfort at her in-laws’ in their remote home. But when they’re turned into Deadites one by one, the family reunion becomes a hellish nightmare. Soon she realizes that the promises she made herself in life matter… even in death.”
You can check out a breakdown of the much more extreme CinemaCon teaser below (via Discussing Film).
"The trailer starts with a very different, grungy, desaturated look than Evil Dead Rise as a woman stands in fear, looking at a door about to open. A man and woman walk in, terrified, mumbling, when the door slams open, revealing a deadite with a car seat going all the way through her head, which she removes slowly, almost gleefully. The trailer proper indicates that the plot involves a family using the Book of the Dead to resurrect a male member who died too young. Once the Necronomicon is used, the entire town around them seems to be under possession.
In general, Evil Dead Burn’s footage feels significantly meaner than its Evil Dead 2-inspired predecessor. The deadites are vicious, severing fingers in car doors, spontaneously combusting themselves, leaping to the tops of roofs, and scaring a male protagonist so bad that he falls into a dishwasher and stabs himself in the back with knives. The camerawork is unhinged, going every which way, as an overwhelming feeling of dread fills the screen. Evil Dead Burn’s final shot of the trailer sees a deadite or female protagonist slowly walking through fog, bathed in red. Evil Dead Burn looks like a truly original spin on the franchise. with total visceral experience prioritized."
Directed by Sébastien Vaniček (Vermine), Evil Dead Burn also stars Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, and Tandi Wright.
“I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested,” Vaniček told Konbini in a recent interview. “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!”
