RESIDENT EVIL (2026): New Trailer Starring Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, Kali Reis…

8 Comments

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)…

THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS (2016): The Thing I Liked…

Melanie (Sennia Nanua) is a special young girl. A young girl who’s taken along on a journey of survival with her teacher (Gemma Aterton) and a scientist (Glenn Close).

Directed by Colm McCarthy and set in a dystopian future in what looks like London, England, The Girl With All The Gifts is an adequate zombie movie. It’s not quite the kind you may be expecting in some respects, but it’s worth it to hang in there for the ending, my favourite part.

As for the horror categorisation, I don’t recall getting particularly terrified as I watched, probably because gore isn’t necessarily the core focus of McCarthy’s movie.

The Girl With All The Gifts is a relatively smart zombie film, even though I find the idea of zombies a tad more ridiculous and unreal than the idea of vampires – as odd as that may seem. And yes, I’m also sure I wouldn’t survive a zombie apocalypse.

Watch The Girl With All The Gifts if you’re intrigued enough, and, to find out about the refreshing difference that is the ending.

Happy Film Loving,
