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.

4/5

Far and away one of the best video game adaptations I’ve seen, and also one of the best horror comedies. Austin Abrams couldn’t be better playing a silly charmer with just enough fight and determination. It’s a pitch perfect performance.

Really enjoyed it although I missed the first 10 mins. Still, recommend to fans of horror in general, don’t need to be a fan of the games or previous RE movies.
