In recent years, the Evil Dead series has not messed about. While Sam Raimi\u2019s sequels<\/a> fused his hardcore horror sensibilities with gallons of slapstick gore, the likes of Fede Alvarez\u2019s 2013 Evil Dead<\/a> and Lee Cronin\u2019s 2023 Evil Dead Rise<\/a> have veered closer to the transgressive terror of Raimi\u2019s original film<\/a>; albeit with a sadistic wink in their eye. Next up is the turn of French filmmaker Sebastien Vani\u010dek, whose Evil Dead Burn<\/a> will subject a new family to the hellish exploits of Kandarian demons. The Necronomicon is open for business once more.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the madness this time is Souheila Yacoub\u2019s Alice, playing on a different register to Bruce Campbell\u2019s outlandish Ash. \u201cWhen we created Alice, we wanted a character who\u2019s really grounded,\u201d Vani\u010dek explains. \u201cShe\u2019s mourning someone, she arrives in this house, and crazy stuff happens. I wanted to create characters that are behaving like it\u2019s real life.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Alice won\u2019t have a chainsaw hand, Vani\u010dek is still pulling ideas that spring from fighting Deadites in a domestic space. \u201cI really want the audience to feel different when they use their dishwasher after watching the movie,\u201d he says. And Alice will really have her work cut out, battling the Necronomicon\u2019s nastiest. \u201cI needed to stay in touch with what makes these demons not like the ones from The Exorcist,\u201d says Vani\u010dek. \u201cThey are smart. They are playing with you. When I was talking with the actors, I was telling them, \u2018Behave like animals.\u2019 Every one of these Deadites has a fighting style that is completely different.\u201d Expect a groovy time at the movies.<\/p>\n
