Evil Dead Burn lit up with its first trailer, which shows a gory family reunion.

The film has been shrouded in mystery, but as the newly revealed logline reveals: “After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites — turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell — she comes to discover that the vows she took in life live on… even in death.”

Per the trailer’s tagline, “Family is the root of all evil.”
