What happens when the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons enters the terrifying world of Resident Evil and creates a completely original survival-horror story? Today I’m reacting to the new Resident Evil trailer from Zach Cregger—and oh my God, this looks amazing. If you enjoy honest trailer reactions, horror movie discussions, video-game adaptations and reactions to the biggest upcoming films, you’ve come to the right place!
In this Resident Evil trailer reaction, I break down the terrifying infected creatures, the survival-horror atmosphere, the original story, Austin Abrams’ performance and why this finally looks like a movie that understands what makes the Resident Evil games so intense.
The film follows Bryan, a medical courier played by Austin Abrams, who becomes trapped in a viral outbreak filled with infected monsters. Zach Cregger has described the movie as an original story set within the Resident Evil universe rather than a direct retelling of characters such as Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield. The movie takes place around the events of Resident Evil 2 and arrives in theaters on September 18, 2026.
What makes this trailer so exciting is that it looks focused on pure survival. One ordinary person is dropped into an impossible nightmare and forced to move through increasingly disturbing environments while everything around him becomes more dangerous.
The creatures look horrifying.
The atmosphere feels oppressive.
The violence looks brutal.
And the trailer appears to capture the feeling of progressing through a Resident Evil game without simply copying one of the existing stories.
Zach Cregger also feels like the perfect filmmaker for this material. He understands how to build tension, introduce strange imagery and make audiences feel uncomfortable before the full horror is revealed. This trailer looks like he has taken that style and combined it with the monsters, outbreaks and survival mechanics that define Resident Evil.
In this horror movie trailer reaction, I discuss the biggest trailer moments, Zach Cregger’s direction, Austin Abrams’ new protagonist, the infected creatures, the Resident Evil 2 timeline and why this could finally become the Resident Evil movie fans have been waiting for.
