Critics Consensus

Packing unforgettable scares into a sleek runtime while Austin Abrams' crack comedic timing provides crucial levity, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil is a propulsive tribute to the pleasure and terror of playing a truly spooky video game.

I like seeing an established world and certain rules be played with in a brand new way. And I think the leaning into the horror comedy was just so incredibly refreshing for me.

Social commentary with a gleeful helping of anarchic, cartoonishly over-the-top mayhem? Yes, please — sign me up immediately.

3/5

Its mixture of horror and comedy counteracts the stakes but provides some genuinely unhinged hilarity.

It felt good being back in this world. Camp, hijinks, jump scares and all the chaos you’d want from Resident Evil. What’s not to love? Easily one of my favourite renditions of the franchise.

Amazing movie from start to finish! If you are a fan of the game or not, this movie satisfies! The main character gives an impeccable performance! Not only is the movie intense but carries over with a good amount of humor as well. Definitely one to see in the theatre!!!

Definitely a great node to Resident Evil fans. The sprinkled humor and video game Easter eggs made it an immersive experience that felt like a natural partner to one of the series entries. The best adaptation so far despite my love for Mila Jovovich.
