Do the Time Warp in ‘Seven Below’ Zero
Already announced way back in January, full details have now been revealed for EFish Entertainment’s indie thriller Seven Below (formerly Seven Below Zero).
Kevin Carraway is directing from a screenplay he penned with Lawrence Smith, with Val Kilmer (The Thaw), Ving Rhames (Piranha, Dawn of the Dead), Luke Goss and Rebecca De Costa all starring, reports Variety.
“The story centers on a group of strangers brought together when a terrible storm leaves them stranded in a house in the woods where a terrible event transpired exactly 100 years prior. The group seems trapped in a ghostly time warp, and history is repeating itself.”
The project had been set to shoot earlier this year in New Mexico with Kilmer starring but a change in the state tax credits caused producers to move the shoot to Cincinnati, where production’s set to begin next month.
The next installment in the long-running film franchise, Evil Dead Burn just received its ‘R’ rating last week for “strong bloody horror violence and gore, and language,” making it clear that the new movie is aiming to be another ultimate experience in grueling terror. That’s the Evil Dead tradition, after all. But just how gory is Evil Dead Burn going to be?
Well, according to director Sébastien Vaniček, the theatrical cut of the movie won’t be quite as brutal as the Director’s Cut he hopes to release on home video down the road.
Vaniček tells SFX Magazine (via Games Radar), “There is a scene that is not R-rated. It’s a really, really hard scene. And I have to cut it, unfortunately, so you just won’t experience it as brutally as it is right now because I need to have the R-rated movie. So we are trying to find a good balance.”
The outlet notes that this interview was conducted before Evil Dead Burn officially received its ‘R’ rating, so it seems Vaniček was ultimately able to make the MPA happy with his edits.
“The director’s cut will be way more violent than what we will have in the theater,” Vaniček promises.
Even still, Evil Dead Burn is being promoted as “the franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date,” so there will be no shortage of bloody violence in the rated ‘R’ theatrical cut!
Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters nationwide July 10, 2026.
