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.

There are echoes of other horror franchises here. But what made this film work for me almost completely was the humor.

Zach Cregger’s horror-comedy Resident Evil is a real blast of a movie, fast, funny, scary, and inspired. Only an exuberant film lover could come up with such a gleefully inventive ninety-five-minute thrill ride as this one.
