The Evil Dead franchise has officially taken a huge step forward. Evil Dead Wrath, the next chapter in one of horror’s most relentlessly savage franchises, has wrapped filming, setting the stage for what could be another brutal descent into supernatural madness when it hits theaters on april 7, 2028.



For longtime fans, this is the first major milestone worth celebrating. Production is complete, which means the project now moves into post-production, where the blood-soaked chaos, terrifying visuals, and nightmarish atmosphere will be refined before making their way to the big screen.



One of the most exciting aspects of the project is the filmmaker steering the ship. The movie is directed by Francis Galluppi, whose acclaimed thriller The Last Stop in Yuma County earned praise for its tension, sharp direction, and ability to keep audiences on edge. That pedigree alone has horror fans wondering whether Evil Dead Wrath could deliver a fresh and vicious new vision while staying true to the franchise’s roots.



The Evil Dead brand has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in recent years. Rather than relying solely on nostalgia, the series has evolved into a modern horror powerhouse capable of shocking new audiences while satisfying longtime devotees. Every new installment raises the stakes, pushes the gore further, and finds creative ways to unleash fresh nightmares.



Of course, plot details remain locked away in the shadows. The secrecy only fuels speculation about what kind of horrors are waiting around the corner. New Deadites? A darker mythology? An even more merciless story than its predecessors? For now, nobody outside the production knows.



What is certain is that the countdown has begun. Filming is finished, the cameras have stopped rolling, and horror fans now have a date circled on their calendars. On april 7, 2028, Evil Dead Wrath finally arrives—and if franchise history is any indication, it won’t come quietly.
