From director Sébastien Vaniček, Evil Dead Burn releases in theaters July 10, but that’s just one of two brand new Evil Dead movies releasing in the next two years.

Evil Dead Wrath recently wrapped production, with the upcoming film from director Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County) set for theatrical release on April 7, 2028.

We’ve known virtually nothing about the movie up to this point, but a recent interview with producer Rob Tapert has surfaced this week (thanks, Dread Central) and it reveals a very surprising bit of information about Evil Dead Wrath. The film is set in 1972!!

Tapert told the students at Michigan State University during a chat, “Evil Dead Wrath is yet another great departure. It predates everything. It takes place in 1972.”

That means Evil Dead Wrath takes place even before the arrival of Ash Williams and friends to that infamous cabin in the woods, which should give the film a whole new kind of flavor.

Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness was of course set in the Middle Ages, but Evil Dead Wrath will take place chronologically before Ash Williams was transported into medieval times!

“It will feel like a 1972 movie because the director and his DP want to imitate the film’s look and feel of something that’s called Ektachrome 100, which was a film stock,” Tapert notes. “Still available. A lot of movies shot on back then. And so it’s very warm, very tungsten.”

Tapert calls Wrath “very Tarantino-esque, very deliberate. [Galluppi] made a movie, not a horror movie, that I liked a great deal called Last Stop in Yuma County. It’s worth looking up.”

The Last Stop in Yuma County, it’s interesting to note, is also set in the 1970s!

Charlotte Hope (The Nun), Jessica McNamee (Mortal Kombat), Zach Gilford (“Midnight Mass”), Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road), Ella Newton (Dangerous Animals), Elizabeth Cullen (Diabolic), and Ella Oliphant will star in Evil Dead Wrath.

Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi and franchise producer Rob Tapert are producing. Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin will executive produce alongside Romel Adam and Jose Canas.

Filmmaker Josh Lobo (I Trapped the Devil) is back with his sophomore feature Night After Night, set to make its debut this weekend at the Chattanooga Film Festival.

The sci-fi thriller is unveiling an eerie new poster by artist Hans Woody ahead of its premiere tomorrow night, opening the fest.

Johnny Sibilly (“Hacks”), Alexis Louder (Violent Night), Trace Lysette (“Transparent”), AJ Bowen (You’re Next), and Scott Poythress (I Trapped The Devil) star.

In the film, “One of only two Security Guards employed by ‘The University‘, Andrew Gersh’s days are spent going through the motions. Dismissive of his partner Willis’ growing paranoia about the school’s secretive founder and relentless expansion, Andy’s carefully controlled routine begins to unravel when Willis suddenly vanishes under mysterious circumstances. While patrolling a newly constructed wing, he discovers a sealed room— and inside it, a stranger who returns each night in a newly formed body, as if remade from scratch.

“Guided only by Willis’s final, cryptic warning, Andy’s drawn deeper into a mystery that feels less like an investigation and more like an invitation. As the line between observer and participant begins to blur, he’s forced to confront a chilling possibility: The University isn’t hiding something—it’s building toward something. And Andrew may already be a part of it.“

Horace Gold, Melissa Macedo, Michelle Macedo, and Jennifer Blair round out the cast. Simon Waskow (Cuckoo) will compose the score.

Night After Night is said to harken back to ’70s sci-fi and conspiracy thrillers, featuring morally ambiguous characters.

Stay tuned for more out of Chattanooga Film Fest this weekend.

Get ready to work up a killer sweat and maybe spill some blood with Slashercise.

Part horror movie and part fitness video, Slashercise will premiere exclusively for BloodStream subscribers on July 1 before expanding to additional platforms on October 1, 2026.

Written and directed by Ama Lea (Deathcember), the retro-styled feature follows “a masked killer known only as Meathead as he stalks the fitness clubs of Los Angeles, turning workout sessions into blood-soaked nightmares. As the city’s top trainers are picked off one by one, a group of determined fitness fanatics must fight back before they become the next bodies on the mat.”

Slashercise features an ensemble cast of horror heavy hitters, too.

Vanessa Decker (Stiletto), John Bloom (The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs), Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills), Sarah French (Blind), Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet), Sarah Nicklin (V/H/S/Halloween), Diana Prince (The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs), Jared Rivet (The Once and Future Smash), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Tiffany Shepis (Victor Crowley), and Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) star.

“Slashercise is a blood-soaked love letter to 1980s workout videos and slasher movies,” filmmaker Ama Lea said.

Vanessa Decker adds, “We never set out to make a traditional fitness video. We wanted to create an experience horror fans could laugh with, sweat through, and revisit again and again.”

Watch the teaser below that unleashes a killer Meathead in a throwback genre experiment in the vein of Linnea Quigley’s Horror Workout.

A cyber witch gets embroiled in a murder mystery in the wild new trailer for Hot Spot.

From The Lure director Agnieszka Smoczyńska, the dystopian sci-fi thriller will be released in North American theaters on August 21 via Focus Features.

The genre-bending film is set in “a near future society ruled by sentient AI, where a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”

Andrzej Konopka (The Lure), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) star. 

Robert Bolesto (The Lure) wrote the screenplay.

“To me, ‘Hot Spot’ is a story where the main feeling is fear, just like in a horror movie. And in today’s world,” Bolesto previously told Variety. Smoczyńska describes the new project as a “personal blend of horror, science fiction and anti-detective story,” signaling another unique genre-bender from the filmmaker.

The project was developed with the support of The Sundance Institute, which presented Smoczyńska with its 2017 Global Filmmaking Award.

Producers include Klaudia Smieja-Rostworowska at Poland’s Madants, who produced Claire Denis’ High Life and Agnieszka Holland’s Mr Jones, alongside Before Midnight producer Christos V. Konstantakopoulos at Greek production outfit Faliro House. 

Hot Spot will open against Insidious: Out of the Further.

Also on the way from Focus Features is Robert Eggers’ Werwulf on December 25.
