Evil Dead Burn Interview: Luciane Buchanan Talks Backbends, Hot Wax & A WILD Fake Body Twist

The Night Agent star Luciane Buchanan joins Perri Nemiroff on Collider Ladies Night to break down her wildly brutal, blood-soaked role as Thya in Sébastien Vaniček's Evil Dead Burn! In this deep-dive career conversation, Luciane shares the unbelievable movie magic behind Evil Dead Burn's most intense sequences — from drinking hot wax to using a sex doll as a body double. She also reveals her secret history with the franchise, having worked on Evil Dead Rise as a crew member looking after Nell Fisher's stunt double, and how a chance encounter with fellow Ladies Night alum Jane Levy at the Spirit Awards gave her the ultimate validation for the intense physical endurance required to play a deadite. Plus, we get into her early childhood Meryl Streep charts, working on Power Rangers, and what it was like finding out her character wouldn't return for The Night Agent Season 3.
