Resident Evil isn't a great Resident Evil the Game movie but it is a great Zach Cregger film, hell this is a great Brian Yunza film. I feel Welcome to Racoon City is a great adaptation, this here is a better film though. Cregger took an existing IP and made it his own, this doesn't feel like a director for hire film or a cash in conveyor belt film to kick start s franchise, this is Cregger through and through. His characters, his panic, his tension, his camera movements, it is all there. The film starts off with our lead Brian, played by Austin Abrams already having a day. This is a series of one unfortunate event after another and his reactions are instantly relatable. The humor doesn't detail the film it makes it more believable. The horror is tense and even has one of if not the best jump scare this decade.....or even century. The effects and character design are pure Yunza and the film embraces ooze and goo. If Sony wants a sequel then they need to hire another great director to make it their own and keep giving free reign.
