Un corriere medico qualunque, Bryan, si ritrova gettato nel caos di un'epidemia a Raccoon City, in un film survival horror che mira a ricreare l'esperienza di giocare al franchise piuttosto che adattarne direttamente la narrativa.
Directed by Zach Cregger and distributed by Sony Pictures, the 2026 Resident Evil reboot departs from previous adaptations by introducing a new protagonist, medical courier Bryan, played by Austin Abrams. The film, a survival horror produced by PlayStation Productions and Capcom, captures the essence of the video games through immersive direction that transforms gameplay mechanics like resource management and exploration into cinematic language, supported by creatures with physically designed aesthetics inspired by classic horror cinema. Despite the absence of the franchise's iconic characters, the movie has been acclaimed by critics as one of the most faithful video game adaptations in spirit, balancing constant tension, moments of humor, and a reflection on human vulnerability.
With an open-ended finale that leaves room for potential sequels, the film positions itself as a promising volume zero for a new series.
