A couple of weeks ago, I had the exhilarating opportunity to catch a glimpse of the trailer for Zach Cregger’s upcoming take on Resident Evil. Now, if you’re anything like me, you might be thinking: “Can this radical adaptation breathe new life into a franchise that’s shuffled its feet a few too many times?” Well, my stars, it just might! Cregger, fresh off the heels of Barbarian and Weapons, seems to be cooking up something spectacular. While we’re all longing for the new trailer to drop—no news yet, but there’s a shiny new website—what we’ve got so far is a logo that promises chaos.

And speaking of chaos, let’s delve into the premise: Imagine being an unsuspecting organ courier—what could possibly go wrong? Enter Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, navigating treacherous mountain roads only to collide with a mysterious woman who pulls him into a nightmarish outbreak that makes your worst fears look like a walk in the park! If the footage I witnessed is any indication, this isn’t just another chapter in the Resident Evil saga. It’s more akin to a horror-infused, high-octane ride reminiscent of Mad Max: Fury Road! So, are you ready to strap in and survive a cinematic thrill ride like no other? Because this fall, it looks like the horror will be unleashed in a way that’s uniquely unnerving. Get ready for a wild ride—oh, and did I mention there’s no fussing around with the narrative? Just a straight shot from Point A to Point B!

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get an early look at the trailer for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil. A brand new, radical adaptation of the classic video game series, it’s Cregger’s follow-up to the one-two punch of Barbarian and Weapons. No news yet on when the trailer we saw at CinemaCon will drop online, but a new website is live. So far, all that’s been revealed is the logo.

Check it out:

In Resident Evil, Austin Abrams plays a medical courier forced to survive a horrifying night. It was co-written by Cregger and Shay Hatton (Army of the Dead), and this is what is believed to be the concept:

Bryan, a laid-back organ courier, is sent on a late-night delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital. En route through a snowy mountain road, he accidentally hits a strange woman with his car. She survives—but something is very wrong. As he tries to help, Bryan stumbles into a full-blown outbreak involving horrifying tentacle-based mutations and bio-engineered monstrosities.

Based on the footage I saw, this is unlike any of the other Resident Evil movies, with it not relying on the established mythology or universe. Rather, it’s something more like a horror movie version of Mad Max: Fury Road, where it’s one propulsive ride, with the rumour being it’s a lean and mean ninety-minute (or so) experience that should rock audiences when it comes out this fall.

The footage I saw was all killer, no filler, with Cregger explaining at CinemaCon that the movie aims to replicate the experience of playing the game, with it centering around a lone protagonist who has to survive a situation he’s completely unprepared for, with things like collecting resources and weapons key to his survival.

Unlike his other movies, Cregger promises there’s no playing with the narrative, with it being a Point A to Point B type experience.
