Lionsgate Distributes After Dark’s ‘Husk’
Devon Graye, best known for playing the teenage Dexter on Showtime’s “Dexter,” will star with CJ Thomason and Wes Chatham in Husk, a horror movie from After Dark Films. Tammin Sursok (Aquamarine) also stars. Brett Simmons wrote the script and is directing the project, which is based on Simmons’ short film that played at Sundance (watch it inside!). The story sees five friends on a weekend trip who become stranded in isolated farmland when crows attack their SUV. They soon realize that the cornfields are inhabited by reanimated human scarecrows who reproduce by killing and force their undead victims to join their ranks. Graye plays the brainiac of the group, Thomason is the blue-collar guy, and Chatham is the jock. The movie is shooting in Iowa. After Dark has a distribution deal with Lionsgate.
With the holiday weekend ahead and the arrival of Evil Dead Burn in theaters next week, now is the perfect time to catch up on the franchise.
If you need even more incentive for an Evil Dead marathon, Evil Dead Burn actor Hunter Doohan recently teased that the new installment not only connects to Evil Dead Rise, but Sam Raimi‘s original trilogy as well.
It’s also highly recommended by Ash originator Bruce Campbell, who warned on social media that the uninitiated may need to practice for the visceral Deadite horror ahead.
HBO Max is making this directive even easier; all five Evil Dead movies are now available to stream on the service as of July 1!
Catch up on The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, 2013’s Evil Dead, and Evil Dead Rise this weekend. For bonus credit, the Evil Dead series “Ash vs Evil Dead” is available to stream on Starz and Pluto TV.
Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters July 10, 2026.
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.
Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, and Hunter Doohan star.
Get ready for an onslaught of Deadite carnage; Vaniček promises the R-rated feature will get even gnarlier with his director’s cut.
Evil Dead II
