EVIL DEAD BURN Cast Comes Together with Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, and Tandi Wright — GeekTyrant
The cast of Evil Dead Burn is coming together, and it's already looking promising. According to Deadline, Hunter Doohan, best known for playing Tyler in Netflix's Wednesday , has signed on to star.
He's joined by Luciane Buchanan ( The Night Agent ) and Tandi Wright ( Pearl ), with all three actors set to bring some fresh blood to the Sam Raimi-produced horror project.
They'll join previously announced cast member Souheila Yacoub in the film, which is being directed by Infested filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček. He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, continuing the collaborative horror streak they started with their 2023 creature feature.
We don't know anything about the story, but Vaniček previously said:
'I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested. I'm going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven't ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!'
He is looking to create a film that hits with force and sticks with audiences. He added:
'I want people to feel physically drained when they leave the theater, like they've been through an emotional and intense journey. The ambition remains the same as with Infested: to create a visceral, sensory experience that punches the audience in the gut.'
As a fan, that's exactly what I want to hear when it comes to the bone-snapping, soul-swallowing, blood-drenched legacy.
Evil Dead Burn will follow the success of Evil Dead Rise , directed by Lee Cronin, which revived the series in 2023 with a grittier, blood-soaked twist. And with another untitled Evil Dead film also on the way from Francis Galluppi, so the Deadites aren't done with us yet!
Since Sam Raimi first unleashed the Necronomicon in 1981, The Evil Dead has evolved from a scrappy cabin-in-the-woods shocker into a multi-generational horror juggernaut. With this new lineup and a director hungry to leave a mark (or maybe a scar), Evil Dead Burn is probably going to be a crazy-ass horror movie.

TikTok's new singing contest is ‘American Idol' for the viral generation
If you've ever fancied yourself on American Idol, you can now audition for the newest singing competition—without ever leaving home. In partnership with iHeartRadio, TikTok announced its ' Next Up: Live Music ' singing competition this week, with auditions taking place entirely within the app. Aspiring stars can submit auditions now through Aug. 11 by uploading an original song with the hashtag #nextuplivemusic —which already has over 1,000 posts at the time of writing. The top 50 creators will advance to the Semi-Finals, where they'll perform via livestream. Scores will be determined by likes, views, comments, and shares, as well as feedback from a panel of judges. 'Fans can follow rising artists in real time, engage directly with their performances, and help shape their path to the spotlight,' the press release explains. The final 12 performers will then take the stage live at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California, on Sept. 28. The competition is open to anyone in the U.S. over 18, but there are several requirements entrants must meet. Hopefuls must have at least 50,000 TikTok followers with real engagement (i.e. not bot activity). They must own the rights to at least one original song and cannot be signed to a major record label. For those who meet the criteria and feel ready to take a shot, TikTok adds, 'this isn't just a contest, it's a launchpad.' The platform has already helped launch the careers of numerous artists, including Olivia Rodrigo and Pink Pantheress. 'TikTok has long been a launchpad for musical talent, helping undiscovered artists break through and reach global audiences,' TikTok executive Shen Gao said in the press release. 'Next Up: LIVE Music is building on that legacy by turning discovery into a shared, real-time experience.'
