4/4

At a taut 90 minutes, “Resident Evil” is everything I’ve ever wanted in a “RE” film: It’s scary, it’s clever, and it feels like it could be an “RE” game but doesn’t just do a shot-for-shot remake of an already existing game.

3/5

It’d be a thrill to report that Cregger’s latest is a Weapons-grade horror classic rather than just a handsome-looking and occasionally inspired addition to the funhouse zombie genre. It’s not that. But on its own terms, it’s still a fun Friday night.

3/5

The glue holding this all together is Austin Abrams. In him, Cregger has found the bumbling, chaotic De Niro to his Scorsese.

3.5/5

After seven live-action "Resident Evil" movies, we finally have a good one. Rather than making a direct video game adaptation, Cregger captures a sense of its universe without compromising the story he’s telling.

4/5

By far, the best Resident Evil movie ever made. At a lean & mean 95 minutes, Cregger pays tribute to the horror video game franchise while doing its own thing. Scary, unpredictable & pretty funny. Go see it! [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

A horror movie that understands sometimes the most faithful way to adapt a game isn’t to recreate its story. It’s to make you desperately want a turn.
