A new Resident Evil movie directed by Zach Cregger reportedly breaks from the franchise's Milla Jovovich-era action focus by recreating the dread and resource-scarcity feel of the original survival horror games. The story follows Bryan, a medical courier drawn into Raccoon City while grappling with impending fatherhood, and uses over-the-shoulder camera work reminiscent of classic Resident Evil gameplay. Cregger, known for Barbarian and Weapons, brings both horror filmmaking chops and genuine fandom to the adaptation.
