‘Evil Dead’: Sébastien Vaniček Directing an Official Spinoff Movie!

Published

Evil Dead Rise Digital

In the wake of last year’s box office hit Evil Dead Rise, the fifth installment in the Sam Raimi-created film franchise, another brand new Evil Dead movie is on the way soon!

Deadline reports today that Sébastien Vaniček has been hired by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures to direct an untitled Evil Dead spinoff movie.

“Details as to the film’s plot are under wraps,” Deadline notes.

Sébastien Vaniček made his feature debut with Infested (Vermines) just last year, and it’s clear that Raimi and company saw serious Evil Dead potential in the filmmaker. The new course for the Evil Dead franchise is for Raimi to hand select hot up-and-coming filmmakers to put their own spin on the Deadites, which has been working exceedingly well for the bloody saga.

Fede Alvarez directed his own take on Sam Raimi’s original classic back in 2013, which paved the way for Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise last year – 10 years after the remake came out.

The wait for the next one won’t be nearly as long. Stay tuned for more.

Infested made its North American premiere at Fantastic Fest and has been acquired by Shudder for distribution. Trace reviewed the film out of Fantastic Fest and gave it 4/5 stars.

Trace wrote in his Bloody Disgusting review, “Full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening), Vaniček has crafted what is possibly the best “when spiders attack” movie in over 30 years, and that is no small feat.”

When can you experience Infested for yourself? April 26, only on Shudder.
