Video Review – Resident Evil is a true horror blockbuster

September 19, 2026 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno reviews Resident Evil…

Zach Cregger has turned Resident Evil into a cinematic spectacle. This video game adaptation is a true horror blockbuster that needs to be seen on the biggest screen with a big crowd.

Led by an incredible Austin Abrams, we journey into Raccoon City with a new adventure unlike anything we’ve seen before. While not going for a straightforward one-for-one of a Resident Evil game, Cregger takes everything we love about the games and brings it to cinema. Let’s discuss what works and what doesn’t work about this zombie romp.

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

“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.”

Resident Evil is directed by Zach Cregger and stars Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Paul Walter Hauser, Johnno Wilson, Shaun W. Loeser, and Devon Deshaun Stewart.
