Episode Details

Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil movie finally delivers the survival horror fans have been waiting for — ditching game lore for pure, escalating dread. Starring Austin Abrams as a medical courier thrust into Raccoon City’s chaos, it’s a standalone tale set around the same time as Resident Evil 2 but with fresh characters and a grounded, atmospheric tone. Cregger, a horror vet from Barbarian and Weapons, leans into the games’ signature tension, not action, with nods to zombies, creepy creatures, and even a typewriter. The cast includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser as Umbrella scientists, and Abrams praised Cregger’s deep game knowledge. This isn’t a reboot — it’s a return to the roots of what made the games terrifying. The film hits theaters September 18.
