Resident Evil star Kali Reis spoke to ScreenRant about the upcoming movie, and he gushed about the tone of the film and how great it is, while also warning not to think it is a direct adaptation. “I will say, for the Resident Evil fans, especially people who are gamers, his crack at an origin story — his version of this – is amazing,” Reis said. “I think you guys are going to be blown away by his imagination, his ideas, and this kind of comedic kind of journey through this crazy wild time in this Resident Evil story. I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised.”
This makes a lot of sense for anyone who watched Cregger’s most recent movie, Weapons, which was an award-worthy horror movie, but had a lot of dark comedic moments as well.
In what should come as no surprise, this has a lot of Resident Evil fans freaking out on social media about the news, without realizing what they are likely going to be getting. When the quote was shared on X, fans leapt into the comments, freaking out about the news. The biggest complaints were based on the word “comedic,” with most already giving up on the film without knowing anything about Zach Cregger’s past films. As one person wrote in the comments, “Cregger has got a solid track record so far, I’d be surprised if this film bombs.”
