When a snowbound medical courier stumbles into Raccoon City’s nightmare, he’s thrust into a world overrun by grotesque tentacle monsters — and somehow, it’s hilarious. Austin Abrams delivers a grounded, relatable performance as Bryan, a regular guy trying to survive while narrating his descent into chaos with quips and confusion. Director Zach Cregger balances relentless horror with dark humor, turning the mayhem into a wild, video-game-like sprint through infected streets, creepy maternity wards, and terrifying dogs. Packed with gore and R-rated intensity, the film’s standout charm lies in Bryan’s absurdly calm moments — like snacking on cereal mid-apocalypse — making this Resident Evil reboot both terrifying and unexpectedly funny, even if the monster onslaught gets repetitive. Fans of the games will love the Easter eggs, but this is a standalone survival horror thrill ride that works whether you’ve played a single game or not.
