Zach cregger's resident evil dares to break free from the games' mold

A new trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil film, directed by Zach Cregger, promises to deliver a thrilling horror experience that diverges from the established video game universe.

Embracing the essence, not the exactness

Cregger's approach seems to focus on replicating the atmospheric tension and sense of isolation that fans love about the Resident Evil games, rather than adhering strictly to the games' narratives and characters.

Set in the fictional Raccoon City, the film follows an ordinary medical courier named Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, as he uncovers a sinister mystery amidst the eerie environment.

While the trailer doesn't feature iconic characters like Leon or Jill, Cregger has emphasized his intention to craft a unique story that operates on the periphery of the games' world.
