Few horror franchises can make it to a trilogy, let alone create an entire series. Even franchises that get multi-film runs ever make those runs last more than a single generation or era before changing tides and tastes make them irrelevant. But there are a few, a select few horror franchises that have managed to terrify multiple generations of viewers, without ever losing relevancy or the core value of the brand.
Evil Dead first hit screens in October of 1981, and from there, writer/director Sam Raimi has built it into one of the longest-running and consistently acclaimed horror franchises of all time – and it’s only getting bigger and better. Raimi and his producing partner, Rob Tapert, have what few other franchise executives have: opening the Evil Dead franchise up to new filmmakers, who can put their own spin on the evil horrors created by the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis tome and the “Deadite” monsters it unleashes.
Now the full trailer for the 6th film in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Burn, is here – and you can watch it below!

According to the synopsis, “Evil Dead Burn unleashes the franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date, blazing onto big screens with an all-new chapter of carnage and demonic mayhem. 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.“
So far, the Evil Dead films have focused on youths who are gathered t some scenic cabin in the woods, or (in the case of Army of Darkness)
The film stars Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Errol Shand, George Pullar, Maude Davey and Greta Van Den Brink.
