"Cregger's movie looks next to nothing like the games-and this time, that's a really good thing. It doesn't take place in Raccoon City, it doesn't have any mention of Umbrella Corporation, and the absence of the franchise's popular characters is glaring."
"Based on the two-minute trailer, Cregger absolutely nails the Resident Evil experience-the tension and panic of scavenging every drawer for shotgun ammo as zombies and other fucked-up things with six limbs stumble your way."
"Cregger explained the movie 'follows a person from point A to point B' in a real-time plot 'where you just go deeper and deeper into the depths of hell.'"
Zach Cregger's new film Resident Evil, set to release on September 18, departs from previous adaptations by not featuring iconic characters or locations. Instead, it follows Bryan, a medical courier, as he battles horrors in a rural farmhouse. The trailer showcases a faithful representation of the franchise's survival-horror experience, emphasizing tension and resource scavenging. Cregger aims to create a real-time narrative that immerses viewers in escalating terror, promising a unique yet familiar experience for fans of the series.
