Player Impact & What to Expect
For fans weary of past cinematic adaptations—ranging from Paul W.S. Anderson's action-heavy series to the faithful but messy Welcome to Raccoon City—this new footage is turning heads. Given Cregger's horror background with Barbarian and Weapons, the tone leans heavily into genuine terror, highlighted in the trailer by tense shots of a zombie-like creature sprinting toward a house.
"From the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) comes a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise. In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos."
With the film scheduled to launch this autumn, viewers looking for a faithful and properly chilling take on Capcom's survival horror franchise won't have to wait long. A full review of the film will be published when it launches in September.
