    Zach Cregger Draws From the Original Games to Build a Terrifying New World in ‘Resident Evil,’ Opens September 16

    Teeth, tentacles, blood, and plenty of nightmare fuel await audiences in Resident Evil, as director Zach Cregger creates a terrifying new chapter inspired by the iconic video game series.

    Together with co-screenwriter Shay Hatten and creature effects supervisor Shane Mahan, Cregger developed a collection of brand-new monsters designed to make the infected world feel frightening, unpredictable, and disturbingly real.

    DF 09925 1

    Everything had to have a shock value and a sense of realism to play against the humor, says Hatten.

    Familiar Details for Resident Evil Fans

    While Resident Evil tells a new story, longtime players may spot plenty of familiar details along the way.

    A devoted fan of the games himself, Cregger drew inspiration from his own experiences exploring their eerie environments, including some recognizable items scattered throughout the film.

    If you’ve played the games a ton, you won’t be able to help but notice some of the healing spray cans and some of the green herbs, says Cregger.

    Watch the official trailer:

    One Terrifying Night in Raccoon City

    In Resident Evil, medical courier Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, is tasked with transporting a package to Raccoon City.

    What begins as another route quickly spirals into a nightmare.

    As the night unfolds, zombies overrun the streets, plunging Bryan into a terrifying wave of mayhem and destruction. Surrounded by infected creatures and escalating danger, he must navigate a city rapidly descending into chaos.

    And for fans of the games, Bryan’s journey may feel surprisingly familiar.

    Bringing Video Game Language to the Big Screen

    Cregger also pays tribute to the visual language of the Resident Evil games through the film’s camerawork.

    Rather than simply borrowing recognizable monsters or locations, the director wanted audiences to experience the action from a perspective reminiscent of playing the games themselves.

    FRM 4510 f0961 sRGB

    We are locked over Bryan’s shoulder because I’m really interested in honoring that video game language,” Cregger explains. “And with the games, you really are perched on the shoulder of someone. So, if Bryan is walking through a corridor, we’re mostly behind him. When he looks left, we swing over to see what he’s looking at. If he looks right, we kind of swing this way.

    The approach places viewers close to Bryan as he moves through dark corridors and threatening environments, making every turn feel more immediate.

    Horror, Humor, and Non-Stop Energy

    For Abrams, Cregger’s interpretation of Resident Evil is built to be experienced with a crowd.

    There’s a non-stop kind of energy to Resident Evil,” says Abrams, “and because it has both horror and comedic elements, you want to experience the film with others. You want to hear the reactions and the energy of those around you, who are screaming or laughing, or both.

    1 6

    That combination of horror and comedy gives the film another layer of unpredictability. One moment may bring nervous laughter, while the next could unleash another grotesque creature or terrifying encounter.

    A Labor of Love for Zach Cregger

    For Cregger, bringing Resident Evil to cinemas is also deeply personal.

    As a longtime admirer of the games, the filmmaker hopes devoted fans will recognize his affection for the franchise while newcomers discover an entirely new story within its iconic world.

    Going to see a horror movie in a theatre is a communal experience, and therefore you’re tapping into an energy that makes the experience greater than it would be if you’re sitting on your couch doing it all by yourself, says the filmmaker. “And to be able to go on that roller coaster ride with a roomful of strangers, it just it makes the ride more fun.

    With zombies roaming the streets, original creatures lurking in the darkness, and plenty of nods waiting for eagle-eyed gamers, Resident Evil promises a thrilling new trip into Raccoon City.

    Resident Evil unleashes its terrifying world in Philippine cinemas, including IMAX, on September 16. Distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH.

    Zach Cregger Brings Relentless Survival Horror to “Resident Evil” Opens September 16, Tickets Available Now!

    For director Zach Cregger, taking on Resident Evil is more than another horror project. It is the chance to step inside a world he has admired for years.

    A longtime fan of the videogame franchise, Cregger is bringing his own style of suspense, chaos, and dark humor to the big screen. Following the acclaim of Barbarian and Weapons, the filmmaker now turns his attention to one of survival horror’s most recognizable names.

    The games are a great standard for survival horror,” says Cregger. “I’m celebrating everything I love about them by telling a story that could exist on the edges of one of the games.

    DF 03433 r

    A New Story Built for Non-Stop Tension

    Rather than retelling a familiar chapter from the games, the new Resident Evil introduces an original story centered on Bryan, a medical courier played by Austin Abrams.

    His assignment appears simple enough: deliver a package.

    Of course, nothing stays simple for long.

    Bryan soon finds himself trapped in a terrifying race for survival as the night grows increasingly dangerous. Mutated creatures, infected beings, and unforgiving surroundings turn his journey into a relentless nightmare.

    Cregger describes the film as a constantly moving experience that pushes its main character, and the audience, deeper into danger.

    I leaned into the visceral stuff, he continues. The movie follows a person from point A to point B; it’s like a real-time journey, where we’re propelled deeper and deeper into the depths of Hell. It’s a constant, ‘Go! Go! Go!

    Watch the official trailer:

    Raccoon City Returns With a Fresh Perspective

    The film also brings audiences back to Raccoon City, one of the most iconic settings in the Resident Evil universe.

    This time, however, the goal is to make the familiar location feel unpredictable again.

    Producer Roy Lee believes Cregger has found a way to honor the franchise while creating a cinematic experience that feels distinct.

    Our film is a roller coaster ride of non-stop action,” says Lee, “and it’s set in the world of Raccoon City, one of the game’s most memorable locales. Zach is giving audiences something they have not experienced before in cinema.

    That combination of familiarity and surprise is also central to what producer Asad Qizilbash believes makes Cregger such a strong fit for the material.

    DF 09925

    The best Resident Evil games don’t just scare you; they make you afraid of what’s coming next. That’s cinema, says Qizilbash.

    He adds that Cregger has a particular talent for building tension before suddenly disrupting expectations.

    Zach is brilliant at weaponizing tension, then breaking it with something shocking, strange or darkly funny. That filmmaker instinct he has, is perfect for Resident Evil: you think you know what’s going to happen, and then Zach shows you something you never expected.

    An Immersive Horror Ride From Start to Finish

    For longtime franchise producer Robert Kulzer, the film’s biggest strength is its commitment to keeping viewers fully immersed in Bryan’s ordeal.

    Zach wanted to create a ride, an immersive experience. He wanted to take the audience by the hand in minute one, take them on this journey, and not let them go till minute 90. Zach delivered all that and more.

    DF 00416 1

    Producer Victor Hadida, who has also been part of the Resident Evil film franchise for decades, was equally impressed by Cregger’s approach.

    Hadida says he was “blown away by Zach’s take,” adding that the film is designed to have audiences “jumping and cheering and going out of their minds.”

    A Fresh Nightmare Begins September 16

    With an original story, a relentless pace, and a return to the dangerous streets of Raccoon City, Resident Evil sets out to deliver a new kind of survival-horror experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.

    At the center of it all is one man, one delivery, and one increasingly impossible night.

    Resident Evil opens in Philippine cinemas, including IMAX, on September 16. Distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH.

    “Weapons” Earns 100% Fresh Rating: Zach Cregger’s New Horror-Thriller to Terrify Cinemas This August 6

    Hold onto your seats—horror fans are in for a wild, mind-bending ride. The new thriller Weapons, written and directed by Zach Cregger (the visionary behind the cult sensation Barbarian), has critics buzzing with excitement. Even before its theatrical debut, the film has achieved a rare feat: a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    WPN T1 0031

    Opening exclusively in cinemas and IMAX on August 6, Weapons is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about horror releases of the year.

    “You Won’t Know What’s Coming”

    “It’s so rare to watch a movie and not know where it’s going, what’s going to happen,” says Zach Cregger, writer/director/producer of horror/thriller “Weapons.” “And I feel confident that that’s the case with ‘Weapons.’” 

    That confidence seems justified. Early reviews are unanimous in their praise, applauding the film’s originality, terrifying atmosphere, and unexpected twists.

    Josh Brolin

    A “Scary-Yet-Funny Blockbuster” with a Puzzle-Box Plot

    IGN describes Weapons as:

    “an absolutely delicious, scary-yet-funny blockbuster that never lets up.” The film weaves a chilling mystery around a mass disappearance in a small town, using a clever time-scrambling structure to deliver suspenseful, character-driven cliffhangers. The result? A finale that hits hard—and lingers.

    A Macabre Masterpiece with Heart

    SlashFilm calls it:

    “A wonderful mixture of bad vibes and macabre fun, ‘Weapons’ is one of the best horror movies of the year, and further confirmation that writer-director Zach Cregger is one of the most exciting voices in the genre right now,”

    And according to CinemaBlend’s glowing 5-star review, Weapons is:

    “It’s intimate while also being epic, it’s scary while expertly utilizing humor as punctuation, and even the most dedicated cinephiles will be rocked by its surprises. It’s perfect and a must-see,”

    The Mystery: One Night. One Child Left. A Town Torn Apart.

    Unmask the Mystery: Meet the Characters of “Weapons,” the New Horror from Barbarian Director Zach Cregger

    Welcome to Maybrook: A Town With a Vanishing Secret

    Something’s wrong in Maybrook. On one fateful night, seventeen children from the same elementary class vanish—except one. In Weapons, writer-director Zach Cregger spins a sinister tale of loss, fear, and fractured truth. This cinematic mystery opens in cinemas and IMAX on August 6 and promises to twist expectations at every turn.

    WPN 08517c

    Fresh off the success of 2022’s cult favorite Barbarian, Cregger returns with a genre-defying thriller critics are calling “a horror masterpiece” and “an instant classic.”

    A Perspective-Driven Nightmare

    Cregger’s storytelling ambition shines through in his decision to film Weapons through hyper-subjective perspectives. Every chapter is told from a different character’s point of view, down to camera height and focus. This technique is especially haunting in scenes seen through the eyes of Alex, the lone student who didn’t disappear.

    “This is a movie that starts weird and I think it ends way weirder, but it also stays both feet on the ground as much as it can,” says Cregger. “It’s a movie that obeys the rules of its own universe so it’s not going to spiral into some bizarre, hallucinogenic nightmare or anything like that. But it is a twisty, turn-y movie. I mean, it’s a movie that reinvents itself about every 20 minutes while still staying true to the central engine. But it’s also a fun movie. It’s funny, it’s scary, it’s inviting. It’s not a big, grim, morose slog, and yet, the story it tells is really f***ed up.”

    The Characters You’ll Meet in Weapons

    Archer (Josh Brolin)

    Archer is a father grappling with the disappearance of his son. Unwilling to wait for answers, he launches his own investigation.

    Says Brolin of the good year the horror genre is having, and of working with Cregger: “This is the horror cycle, and I like it. I love being involved with somebody who I think is really good.”

    WPN 08911r

    Justine Gandy (Julia Garner)

    Justine is an elementary school teacher who discovers her class empty—except for one student. As rumors swirl and accusations mount, she takes matters into her own hands. Garner sees the film as more than horror: “And what I mean by love story,” she says, “is that it’s about people having the desire to connect but not knowing how.”

    WPN T1 0024r

    Paul (Alden Ehrenreich)

    Paul is a police officer with personal demons, reluctantly swept into the investigation. Ehrenreich was drawn to the project by Cregger’s storytelling. “It’s such a full meal,” says Ehrenreich of the stories of “Weapons.” “You get so many different characters, different dynamics and different stories. And the structure of the story is just so wonderfully done. So, I’ve been very genuinely excited to be a part of it.”

    Alex (Cary Christopher)

    Alex is the only student who didn’t vanish. His scenes are uniquely shot from his third-grade perspective. Young actor Cary Christopher found filming more fun than scary. “It’s different, because if you’re just watching a movie, it can be really scary because you don’t know what’s going on. But when you’re filming that same movie and you see it, it’s not scary to you. In fact, it’s funny. But since I know that it’s fake and it’s not real, we’re just all actors, it just gets pretty funny.”ares.

    Marcus (Benedict Wong)

    Marcus is the principal of Maybrook Elementary, stuck between supporting Justine and addressing community fears. Benedict Wong was immediately intrigued by the script’s originality. “It was original, unpredictable, and I could immediately tell it had the potential to be genuinely terrifying,” he says.

    A Story That Demands to Be Seen on the Big Screen

    With a compelling ensemble cast that includes Amy Madigan and Austin Abrams, Weapons is more than a horror film—it’s a narrative puzzle that reshapes itself with each chapter. It’s bold, unsettling, and unexpectedly humorous.
