Sebastien Vanicek on filming Evil Dead Burn

Talking about the shooting of the film, Sebastien Vanicek shared, "Every day there was a surprise, every day something crazy to shoot. I was not going to a warehouse or an office job… I was making a movie, and that's incredible."

Co-writer, Florent Bernard, acknowledged that making an Evil Dead film came with its share of challenges; however, he also called it a 'tremendous honour.' "Sebastien and I talk a lot, mainly about the characters. They're the ones who bring the film's themes. We talk about them as if they were people we know, asking how they would react in different situations, and then we throw them into the worst possible scenarios," he shared.

Speaking about creating a fresh story within the long-running franchise, Bernard revealed, "The biggest challenge was avoiding too much repetition of what had already been done. That's why we decided not to use a group of friends or people of the same age. But a woman uprooted and stuck with her in-laws, especially after a loss that affects them all, carried real narrative promise. Sébastien didn't want to make the bloodiest Evil Dead, but definitely the most violent one."
