New Resident Evil trailer has fans hopeful after years of video game movie duds
A new full trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil movie has dropped, and the internet is cautiously optimistic. The clip, directed by Zach Cregger of Barbarian fame, offers a fresh, spooky take on the iconic horror game franchise, per reports from /Film and JoBlo.
Eurogamer notes the trailer sets up the protagonist's journey into bio-terror and even includes a fun easter egg for eagle-eyed fans of the original games. The vibe appears to blend genuine horror with a darkly comedic edge, a signature move from Cregger.
Push Square confirms the trailer follows courier Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, on a dangerous assignment to Raccoon City General Hospital. Sony is releasing the film this September, and for once, the response isn't an immediate facepalm.
