What kind of watch this is
Resident Evil is a 2026 horror film that leans into science fiction and adventure. It runs 95 minutes, a tight window for a night that goes very wrong. Zach Cregger directs a cast including Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, and Kali Reis. The story follows a medical courier whose routine turns into a survival fight. The tagline promises a new era of evil, which sets the tone.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 96% positive reviews, averaging 7.7 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 79, a score for generally favorable reception. That makes it the highest-rated video game adaptation on both platforms, edging out Exit 8. CinemaScore polled audiences and gave it a B+, the best grade any Resident Evil film has received.
William Bibbiani of TheWrap called it an "explosive horror experience." Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent found it "funny, delirious." Both praised Austin Abrams and Zach Cregger. The consensus is that it captures the feeling of playing the games without adapting a specific story. It is a propulsive tribute to the terror of a truly spooky video game.
How it did with audiences
A $75 million budget against a $196.5 million worldwide total as of September 2026. That math works. The domestic opening of $60 million set the franchise record, surpassing Resident Evil: Retribution, while the international debut added $48.3 million. Creggar’s career record was also set, surpassing Weapons. TMDB users give it a 7.3. The audience liked it enough to keep watching, even if the drop-off was steep.
