Zach Cregger is inspired by the original video games as he creates his own terrifying world in “Resident Evil”

In PH cinemas Sept. 16

Teeth, tentacles, blood, and other horrors follow as the infected wreak havoc in the world of Resident Evil. Director Zach Cregger, along with his co-screenwriter Shay Hatten, and creature effects supervisor Shane Mahan came up with brand new creatures to roam around the environment. “Everything had to have a shock value and a sense of realism to play against the humor,” says Hatten.

Cregger also gave a nod to the games in creating the environment, inspired by his own experience in playing them. “If you've played the games a ton, you won't be able to help but notice some of the healing spray cans and some of the green herbs,” says Cregger.
