The film, from Weapons director Zach Cregger, hits theaters on September 18.
The next resident Evil The film puts a new spin on the series, as it features an original story set on the outskirts of the Resident Evil 2 Still, director Zach Cregger promised fans that his film featured a bunch of Easter eggs, and the latest trailer includes some of them.
It follows medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), who takes on a risky delivery job outside of Raccoon City. Of course, things go very wrong. He encounters nasty creatures and struggles to survive on a seemingly abandoned farm.
I don’t think it’s as scary as the first trailer, but there are still some unsettling beats, like when Bryan returns to a blood-splattered hospital and sees a very small hand, possibly belonging to a newborn zombie, emerging from a cot. There are several fun nods to the games, including a typewriter in the farm, a box of shotgun shells, and the actual med pack that Bryan carries. The trailer also hints at a similar survival horror tone to the games.
We won’t have to wait too long to see the film. resident Evil will be released in theaters on September 18.
