This is one of the most video game-inspired cinematic experiences you could possibly have.

3.5/5

Rarely offscreen except in point-of-view shots, Abrams gives a performance which is both low-key and virtuoso in its way: his realistic squeals of terror are especially funny.

Abrams plays comedic and emotional desperation with a deceptively fine-tuned subtlety — his act of survival is visceral and immediate, and by turns goofy and wry.

4/5

Resident Evil 2026 injects the spirit of the game but runs wild with it through the Cregger lens, managing to be both terrifying, goofy and visually spectacular to watch.

I can't speak for the video game, but from a film perspective this is a fantastic 90 minute horror comedy. Cregger & Abrams have become a perfect director / actor team. Fun, clever, scary and surprisingly timely!
