Austin Abrams as Bryan in Resident Evil
Every Resident Evil film has its protagonist, and for director Zach Cregger’s terrifying reinvention of the iconic franchise, the audience will experience the world through everyman Bryan. A medical courier tasked with transporting coolers, he finds himself on his most dangerous task yet: navigating through a night filled with dangerous infected humans and mutated creatures to get to Raccoon City.

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!’”
A new featurette has also dropped that focuses on Zach Cregger and his imagining of Resident Evil. The director talks about his love for the games, the survival horror genre, and how it all shapes the overall vision for his film.
