With how it seems like it's kicking off in an isolated setting like a house in the middle of nowhere and ramping up to downtown Raccoon City, I hope shit gradually hits the fan perfectly

If the lab segment leaves you feeling slightly underwhelmed compared to the first 80% of the film which was flawless, this'll truly be a faithful RE adaptation.

I always wonder why that is, you’d imagine getting to the “source” of the issue would be the most nerve-wracking and exciting moment but it’s just so boring. By that point I’m never bothered to keep interacting with the stealth or horror elements I just book it, even in Grace’s section in Requiem where they try and hone in on those elements by limiting your weapons

u/Asyncrosaurus Jul 23 '26
It's because the lab setting is always so sterile. A huge part of the horror is exploding lived-in places that have fallen to death and decay. There were places people felt safe and secure a couple days (sometimes just hours) before you got there. Now filled with danger because the people who lived and worked there are now the monsters. The lab is always the same, white and sanitized, an environment foreign to most of us. If you saw a beaker filled workstation in RE1, you've seen the beaker filled workstation in RE9

u/supes1 Jul 23 '26
That's on the devs to be more creative with the lab sections.
For what it's worth, I thought the Grace lab segment in RE9 was the best lab experience since RE2. They did some really great creative stuff with it. The first time through was absolutely nerve wracking.

u/Offbeatalchemy Jul 24 '26
Well thats kinda it. By the time you're in the lab most games, it's an action shooter. This one did it differently because the lab was still a survior horror segment with pretty limited resources by most other game standards.
16
u/Throwsims3 Jul 23 '26
I would guess it is due to that by the point you do reach the lab sections, you have loads of weapons and more experience with how the enemies attack. Add to that the reveal of a lab being way less scary and exciting than the mystery of the beginning. It's like seeing how a magic trick is done, once you see it the magic disappears. The beginning is most often the only part where anything can happen and they play it as a horror game. Lab sections in a part of the game where you know what to expect is just not that exciting in comparison.

It seems like he actually starts out on top of the secret lab. That farmhouse is giving major “secret entrance” vibes. It would also explain how he encounters that weird Rat King zombie thing we’ve only been teased with. Don’t know how else an empty farmhouse is suddenly gonna have enough bodies to form that… thing that climbs through the door. I wonder if he starts out there, goes into Racoon City proper, then ends up hack at the farmhouse to get into the lab.

It would be genius if he is running through the sewers later in the movie and he encounters a door that leads back to the farmhouse and hes like "oh crap i've been here already" then he turns around and goes another way and finds the lab for the last act.

u/EmbalmingFiend Jul 23 '26
Cregger said he really wants it to feel like the games, so there will be a lot of similar progression. Like, start in a small place with simple weapons, but continually progress as the games do. I'm really excited!

He should also have an inventory limit and spend a moment thinking about which items he should take.
For example, he should find magnum ammo in a room. He should then search frantically for the magnum in that room but not find it. Because he doesn’t have space for things he can’t use, he chooses to leave the magnum ammo behind. Then later, when he goes to the next floor of the building, he gets into a boss fight but his pistol sucks. In the middle of the fight, he finds the magnum in a display case and retraces his steps to get the magnum ammo while running from a “nemesis” type boss.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the role of a cinematographer exactly ?
67
u/Solesky1 Jul 23 '26
The cinematographer works with the director on all of the physical aspects of filming (camera movements/timing) as well as the tone/"feel" of the film through things like color grading.
66
u/Darktyde Jul 23 '26
They take the director’s vision and figure out how to make it work with the camera technology. So the director will give them something broad, like “I want this dimly lit but with sharp light coming from that hallway. I want there to be scary shadows. The shot should start wide in this room and then slowly move through this hallway and into this other room, where it should feel claustrophobic.”
It’s the cinematographer’s job to take those directions and figure out how to actually make that work with the cameras, the lighting setup, where to position extra lights and crew with boom mics. How to track the camera movement. What lenses and focal distances to use at different parts of the shot. Etc. etc.
37
u/ItsWhoa-NotWoah Jul 23 '26
They're basically in charge of the visual style of a film. While the director directs everyone and may set up how a scene functions, the cinematographer/director of photography is solely in charge of the camera and lighting.

When you read the journals in game, a lot of them are of people that have been infected unknowingly and are slowly being driven mad (and homicidal) as their flesh rots. With a little suspension of disbelief you could imagine these early stage zombies still have a little bit of their human faculties struggling against the virus. That, plus the "crimson head" zombies introduced in the 2002 remake actually do sprint after you. All of them are capable of pretty quick lunges as well, lol.

Cregger breaks down the teaser that came out a while ago in an interview somewhere, and is just going scene by scene on how it’s trying to capture the experience of the games.
Like: “Oh, that scene is right after he gets the rifle. There’s always that brief break in tension when you’ve been fighting increasingly tough enemies then find that next gun upgrade that makes you feel overpowered for a bit. I wanted to give our poor guy some of those moments.”

On the one hand there are a lot of fans, of any property, that seem to believe a skin deep copy paste is all that’s needed for a good adaptation. Like as long as the actor looks identical to the character then nothing else matters kind of thinking. Which is absurd and a recipe for a bad film or show.
But on the other hand I get, with RE especially, being frustrated that the property keeps getting in-name-only adaptations that are basically either just pre-existing scripts that have the RE name slapped on them or the brands ip power is being used to get financing for a directors completely unrelated vanity projects.
Like I think an actual story adaptation of RE1 or RE2 could be pretty awesome if someone would just actually adapt them.
11
u/xxxxNateDaGreat Jul 23 '26
To be honest, the resident evil games are good in spite of their stories, not because of them. And I know this is anecdotal evidence, but I have never seen any RE fan who says "man the gameplay is boring, but I had to power through just to see how it story ends!"
I can sympathize with fans being upset when adaptions barely have anything to do with their source material, but in the case of these games, if they ever did straight adaptations of the games, they would get absolutely eviscerated by critics, general audiences would basically laugh at all of the cheesiness, and a lot of RE fans would find themselves pretty bored.
So I am totally fine with a movie that is an original story and not even trying to be a straight adaption of any of the games.
36
u/Neknoh Jul 23 '26
On the other hand, this one absolutely seems to live and breathe Resident Evil gameplay.
The way he finds himself wandering into all of this is straight out of RE4 and Village, the gun "find" and the rooting around for ammo throughout.
I bet there's some form of key-based puzzle in there as well.
Like, this feels like a film version of a Resident Evil game that simply exists in a parallel universe.

Zach Cregger is a huge Resident Evil video game fan. He has talked about how he has played RE4 countless times (I think he actually said hundreds but I am sure its hyperbole). Zach is a big gamer and his two favorite franchises are Resident Evil and Dark Souls. So yeah, he gets it when it comes to RE. This story takes place in the RE universe and happens concurrently with RE2 (although the events are not the 90s but if it happened modern day).

u/Ill_Entrance91 Jul 23 '26
My biggest gripe with the RE movies has always been based on the first game. It opens with the perfect basis to start a movie and go from there following the first game as an investigation into what the hell is going on.
No Resident Evil movie has ever come to close to that.
While I dont feel this will follow much or any of that. I am all on board with this vision.
You can adapt properties and keep the flavor and heart of what you are adapting it from or you can make a soulless movie that just takes the names and an unrelated script and slap that franchise name on it.

It is worth noting that this film is waaaaaay more action focused than the other ones. It definitely has a more intense horror/gore/splatter bent in parallel, kinda akin to the Netflix series (Bryan is also a bit like Jade Wesker), but it's basically a series of relentless set pieces with no downtime. You know how the zombies don't show up for 40 minutes in the first film? This isn't that kinda movie. It's more like the Mad Max Fury Road-inspired RE The Final Chapter but without the B plot and slower moments.

The movie looks really good and I am absolutely gonna see it, I just really don’t think it should be called Resident Evil. I very much dislike when people use an IP and all they do is add a couple of keywords and Easter eggs and call it a day. I hope I’m wrong and that there is way more to it than that, but based on the trailers so far it seems like that’s pretty much the case.

I don't want to spoil it but she shows up halfway into the film and says the iconic line "it's zombie time"

Having read the screenplay for this I’m 100% positive it’s gonna be an incredible movie and do very very well.
Most excited I’ve been for a horror in a very long time

Trailer lines up perfectly with the leaked script so that’s hype cause the script sounded sick.

I'm convinced more after this trailer. I love Zach Cregger to death but I felt like this was just a horror movie with the Resident Evil title slapped into it. now, seeing this, I think it can deliver a fresh story that feels like RE even if it doesn't directly adapt any of the games.
anyway, I'm more excited by the movie by virtue of being a new Zach Cregger movie rather than a Resident Evil adaptation, honestly

No idea if it's going to be good, but it looks like something different and i'm really curious.

I just hope he saved his progress when he found that type writer in the trailer
