Resident Evil is a 2026 survival-horror film directed by Zach Cregger that reimagines Capcom’s iconic video game franchise with an original story. The film follows Bryan, a medical courier whose routine delivery takes him into a terrifying outbreak filled with zombies, mutated creatures and increasingly dangerous obstacles. Rather than directly adapting one of the games or centering on established characters such as Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield, Cregger’s film aims to capture the atmosphere and gameplay-driven tension of Resident Evil while telling a new story. Early reviews have been strongly positive, praising its blend of horror, action, dark humor and video-game-inspired structure.
