Resident Evil Review

Zach Cregger just made a Resident Evil movie, and it's about as unhinged and fun as you'd hope from the guy behind Barbarian and Weapons. We watched it opening weekend and we've got a lot to say about where it lands compared to his previous work. We're breaking down Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier who stumbles into an outbreak in Raccoon City with basically zero survival instincts, and why that somehow makes him one of the funnier horror leads in recent memory. We're also covering Cregger's stripped-down approach here, ditching the twisty structure of Weapons and Barbarian for a straight A-to-B mission format, the video game inspired setpiece structure, and whether skipping Leon and Claire in favor of an original story actually works in the movie's favor. Then we're getting into the real question: does Resident Evil actually top Weapons, or does Cregger's more experimental structure in his last movie still come out ahead? We're giving our honest ranking. Let us know in the comments where you'd put this one in his filmography. 🔔 Subscribe for more horror movie reviews every week! #ResidentEvil #ZachCregger #Weapons #Barbarian #HorrorMovie #MovieReview Hosted on Acast.
