Neil Marshall’s Slasher Begins At ‘Hellfest’
Things have been quiet for Neil Marshall after the release of his Centurion back in 2010, but the director of The Descent and Doomsday is getting back to the genre with Hellfest, the CBS Films horror project about a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors – who believe it’s all part of the show – on Halloween night.
The plan is for this to be his next movie and start production by summer next year. The hope is to launch a horror franchise. Scripted by William Penick and Chris Sey, Hellfest is produced by Gale Anne Hurd (Terminator, “The Walking Dead”) through her Valhalla Entertainment banner.
Director Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn has earned an R-rating, consistent with this demonic franchise.
Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters nationwide July 10, 2026.
The upcoming horror film has been rated “R” for “strong bloody horror violence and gore, and language.“
That’s certainly reflected in the film’s trailer and gnarly new clip.
The new entry 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.
Luciane Buchanan (“The Night Agent”), Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), Hunter Doohan (“Wednesday”), Tandi Wright (Pearl), and George Pullar (It Only Takes a Night) star.
The film is written by Florent Bernard & Sébastien Vaniček. Produced by Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi. Executive producers are Romel Adam, Bruce Campbell, Lee Cronin, and Jose Canas.
Sebastien Vaniček is joined behind the camera by director of photography Philip Lozano, production designer Nick Connor, editor Maxime Caro, and costume designer Sarah Voon.
Evil Dead Wrath, meanwhile, just wrapped production. Expect that one in 2028.
