Directed and co-written by Sébastien Vaniček, and produced by Rob Tapert and series creator Sam Raimi, it stars Souheila Yacoub as a young woman who seeks solace with her in-laws following the death of her husband as the family comes together in a secluded house. The gathering becomes a "family reunion from hell" as members gradually turn into Deadites. It also stars Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Errol Shand, and Maude Davey in supporting roles.

A spin-off film in development was announced in February 2024, with Vaniček hired to direct a script he co-wrote with Florent Bernard, while Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert were producers, with Ghost House Pictures producing the project. Later, in December 2024, Vaniček revealed the title to be Evil Dead Burn along with a release scheduled tentatively for 2026. Casting began in May 2025, while filming began in July and concluded in October that same year in New Zealand.

At his family's lakehouse, Joseph Price researches his late grandfather Benjamin's studies about the Naturom Demonto and Deadites. He uncovers the Kandarian Dagger which Benjamin claims can destroy Deadites. His discovery attracts Deadite Jessica who murders a pair of fisherman before making her way towards Joseph. Joseph's brother Will gets into a fight with his wife Alice and drunkenly drives away, crashing into Jessica. As Will burns to death in the car wreck, Jessica recites a passage from the Necronomicon and passes the Deadite possession to Will.

Some time later, Alice, Joseph, his girlfriend Thya, his parents Susan and Edgar and grandmother Polly reunite for Will's cremation. Alice struggles to bond with Susan and Edgar who blame her for the crash. After the service, Edgar privately visits Will's coffin before he is cremated. Will's Deadite possessed corpse breaks out of the coffin, burns Edgar and kills the cremator. The family return to the lakehouse where Edgar slowly succumbs to possession. During a tense family dinner, Edgar stabs the family dog Max to death and collapses. Joseph and Thya attempt to drive him to the hospital but he murders Thya after mutilating her fingers and causes the car to crash while Joseph flees. At the house Alice stumbles upon Benjamin's research and nearly reads from the Necronomicon before she is attacked by a possessed Max, who she is forced to kill.
