Upcoming 'EVIL DEAD' Director Sébastien Vaniček Teases His Vision: “A Nasty Film… A Film That Hurts”

The next flick in The Evil Dead franchise was just announced last week and French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček (Infested) is on board to direct.

We have little to no news about the upcoming Evil Dead adaptation, but the website Konbini did manage to get some quotes from Vaniček.

For starters, it looks as if the old “an experience in grueling terror” motto the franchise has embraced will be front and center for this new Evil Dead flick.

“I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested,” Vaniček tells the outlet, suggesting he’s the right man for the job. “I’m going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven’t ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!”

Vaniček notes in the same interview, “If all goes well, we could start filming at the end of 2024-beginning of 2025, for a release that I hope for Halloween 2025.”

He also mentions that Sam Raimi and company are giving him “100% creative freedom” to play in the Evil Dead sandbox, and that he aims for his film to have a “French twist.”

French horror is indeed grueling and we have seen our fair share of it and man, it gets gritty.

We’ll bring you more news as we get it.
