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.

Writer-director Zach Cregger has made perhaps the greatest tentacle-based horror show of all time. It’s the ideal midnight movie, an adroit balance of the funny and the macabre, the frightening and the ridiculous.

4/5

Cregger’s most straightforward feature yet may also make for his biggest crowd-pleaser, one that leaves its audience gasping and laughing in equal measure.

Resident Evil is a physical comedy at the gruesome end of the world, but it acknowledges that however small Bryan’s own issues may be in comparison, they’re his.

As in Cregger’s previous pictures, the story doesn’t move forward so much as it reboots itself over and over at each level. It advances without progressing.

4/4

Watching this new masterpiece of horror is, at times, like chilling while watching a friend play a third-person perspective shooter. Blood-soaked fun from start to finish.

it's not a bad movie, not a great movie either. The only thing (that I noticed) that had to do with the franchise was the name of the city. Additionally, I don't think the second half of the movie takes itself seriously, way too many jokes some land others not so much. I can't tell ya to watch it or not, but if you like a scarecom (scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse) then you'll enjoy the movie.

Overall, the experience was quite enjoyable, blending equal measures of horror, action, and comedy. The pacing felt effective, and the narrative’s departure from a familiar character like Claire, Chris or Leon functioned well.
