Critics Consensus
Packing unforgettable scares into a sleek runtime while Austin Abrams' crack comedic timing provides crucial levity, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil is a propulsive tribute to the pleasure and terror of playing a truly spooky video game.
I just want to say, I never in a million years expected that guy from The Whitest Kids U Know to be one of the most reliably good horror filmmakers.
I never would have willingly watched a Resident Evil movie from Paul W.S. Anderson, but can't wait to see this one.
