Last year , Lee Cronin ’s Evil Dead Riseput a overbold coat of ( pleasingly gory ) paint on the much - loved cult horror franchise . Now , there are rumblings afresh for the 43 - yr - erstwhile serial : a motion picture from emerging horror superstar Sébastien Vaniček , whoseInfestedthrilled audiences at Fantastic Fest last year and will stream on Shudder later in 2024 . But it wo n’t on the dot be anotherEvil Deadsequel .
agree to Deadline , which breach the newsworthiness , Vaniček will co - drop a line and direct “ a new spin - off of the Evil bushed franchise for Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert ’s Ghost House Pictures , ” with plot details still “ under wrap . ” This is an intriguing way to entrap the new entrance , which has already visualize a threesome of original films ( 1981’sThe Evil Dead , 1987’sEvil Dead Rise , and 1992’sArmy of Darkness , all directed by Raimi and star Bruce Campbell ) ; the 2013 reboot from Fede Álvarez , who hasa new Alien moviecoming this yr ; and the Starz TV serial Ash vs. Evil Dead , which also star Campbell and ran from 2015 - 2018 . And , of course , there was 2023’sEvil Dead Rise , which earn decisive praise and run low on to become the highest - grossing motion picture in the series to escort — and is more of a standalone , spinning out the mythology of Raimi ’s creation with new characters and a new setting .
So what could “ gyrate - off ” mean , exactly ? You have to assume some of the basic DNA of the series will be involved — the Neconomicon and Deadites seem likely suspects — but without have sex where or when the movie ’s solidification , it ’s tough to envisage what else might transpirate . Vaniček ’s festival breakout , Infested , is a contemporaneous creature feature set in a French eminent - raise ( io9 ’s Fantastic Fest reappraisal called it“Attack the Block , but with killer spiders , ” and praise the stress and whacky vigor the director brought to the story ) , but believe Evil Dead Rise ’s own high - rise storyline , it seems safe to assume he ’ll branch out into new territory .
