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.

3/5

Its mixture of horror and comedy counteracts the stakes but provides some genuinely unhinged hilarity.

Resident Evil is largely a one-man show, and Abrams carries it deftly.

After the bone-deep scares of Barbarian and Weapons, it’s a bit of a letdown to see Cregger blow his creative capital on a gory goof. But video games aren’t meant to be a good use of your time, and he’s done enough work to earn a few hours on the couch.

Marries the cinema of video games to the cinema of cinema, making a film that will surely please fans of the games just as much as it will fans of gnarly funhouse horror.

This movie was everything I expected from connecting the Lore to the games of how it originally started. It was good mixture of comedy and horror I loved it

Great movie but don't buy IMAX tickets! No recliner seats and quite frankly you don't need the IMAX experience to enjoy this movie

Resident Evil is an extremely fun and surprisingly gripping scifi thriller. It delivers plenty of edgeofyourseat tension and welltimed jump scares that keep the energy high from start to finish. The movie captures the spirit of the video game perfectly — it genuinely feels like youre right there with the main character, making splitsecond survival choices as the chaos unfolds. The story is creative, faithful to the franchise, and packed with the kind of actionhorror moments fans expect. Its a mustsee for anyone who loves the games or enjoys a mix of humor, scifi, and creaturefilled thrills.
