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.

As a devoted fan of the Resident Evil videogames, it’s a dream come true for Zach Cregger to direct a film based on the beloved franchise. “The games are a great standard for survival horror,” says Cregger. “I’m celebrating everything I love about them by telling a story that could exist on the edges of one of the games.”

Known for his previous critically acclaimed horror films, Barbarian and Weapons, Cregger aims to create a whole new horror experience for audiences. “I leaned into the visceral stuff,” he continues. “The movie follows a person from point A to point B; it’s like a real-time journey, where we’re propelled deeper and deeper into the depths of Hell. It’s a constant, ‘Go! Go! Go!’”
