The upcoming Resident Evil, directed by Зак Креггер, appears to be heading in the right direction. Early feedback from test screenings suggests that the film leaves a strong positive impression on viewers. It was previously reported that the project focuses on a standalone story unrelated to past adaptations, with a tone described as unusual, bold, and even somewhat quirky.

Audience reactions were shared by insider Daniel Richtman via X. According to him, the first impressions were very good. However, the fanbase remains divided. Some viewers are already interested and optimistic, while others are unsure whether the film will meet long-time fans’ expectations. It is also worth noting that the test screenings have not been officially confirmed.

As for the plot, details are still scarce. The story is rumored to take place between the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. According to a possible description, the narrative follows Brian, played by Austin Abrams, who goes on a late night delivery to a hospital in Raccoon City. There, he encounters strange and dangerous events and gradually finds himself at the center of a viral outbreak.

As a Reminder, Amazon greenlights a RoboCop series, but the new executive’s strategy remains unclear.
