The first trailer for Evil Dead Burn is here and promises to return us to the cabin's hell. The plot follows a woman who, after losing her husband, seeks solace in her in-laws' house. Her grief turns into a nightmare when they begin to transform into deadites, unleashing a brutal battle for her survival. The trailer shows a rawer, more emotional tone, without losing the gory essence of the saga.
Technical details: practical filming and analog effects 🎬
The production has opted for practical effects and prosthetic makeup, moving away from excessive CGI. The transformation sequences of the in-laws into deadites were filmed with Arri Alexa Mini cameras, using natural lighting to enhance the oppressive atmosphere. The immersive Atmos sound reinforces the creaks and whispers of the house, while the soundtrack combines dissonant strings with uncomfortable silences. The director sought a real location shoot to maintain the feeling of claustrophobia.
Tips for surviving dinner with your deadite in-laws 🍽️
If your in-laws start drooling and repeating phrases in Latin, it might be time to cancel the visit. The trailer suggests that a chainsaw is still the best tool for resolving family conflicts. They also recommend not accepting their famous meat stew, because it's definitely not chicken. Of course, at least you'll have a perfect excuse not to go for Sunday lunch.
