Resident Evil, the latest action/horror/sci-fi film from Weapons (2025) director Zach Cregger, has Austin Abrams as a courier tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital.

While in the midst, he finds himself in an outbreak, and so begins the fight through hordes of mutated creatures to survive.

I’ve been a fan of Abrams ever since Brad’s Status (2017), and he most recently stood out in Wolfs (2004). This, and how good the above trailer looks, could just be strong enough reasons to overpower my tendency to avoid 99.99% of horror films.

What I’m curious about is whether this trailer has fans of the Resident Evil games excited or apprehensive. After all, it does look quite different from the Mila Jovovich era.

Zach Cherry and Johnno Wilson also star.

Resident Evil Release Dates: September 18th, 2026 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
