All I see is a basic bloody thriller movie. Can't feel the RE aura for a single second.
Not that I expected something good anyway...
Honestly, it looks great
Doesn't look anything like RE but it looks like a really good Horror movie
I think it looks pretty good.
I do not have high hopes for this, at all. I used to love seeing RE titles theater when movies were still good!
Even as a big fan of both Barbarian and Weapons - and a HUGE lifelong RE fan since 1996 - I wasn't expecting much with this. But man, this trailer is amazing! I'm begging you Zach Cregger, please have at least one Licker scene; this guy loves practical effects over CGI junk, so I just think a Licker from him would be incredible looking on-scene. I do like how it is actually set in 1998 (dial phones on the wall??? remember those?) so as not to break the timeline link with the games. But I also like how it is not re-creating a storyline from the games. Some universes like Resident Evil are big enough to have side stories set alongside the game ones and be just fine. Why not follow some random guy who just happened to also be in Raccoon City during the outbreak? That's really what the RE Outbreak games were after all haha
please be good so we can get sequels
Being good has never determined if a movie gets a sequel... Ticket sales do
Bad movies get sequels all the time, Great movies bomb at the box office all the time lol
