Trailer makes me think it could be a solid zombie flick but will have nothing to do with Resident Evil.
In the interview I saw with him it basically takes place during the outbreak in Racoon City but essentially away from all the Resident Evil story. So yes random zombie flick.

thats waht blows my mind.
This director is great. He makes great shit thats fairly original.
He could have made a zombie movie and it would be a hit, I dont get why shoe horn in the RE shit. Iget why studios want the name for sales, but he never seemed like the type to be a stooge for the jews

It was the co-op one with the black woman.
RE5 was basically the first mainstream example of sjws impacting game design. Game is set in Africa so the first trailer for it had a African zombies being gunned down which caused sjw retards to lose their shit and scream racism. Capcom panicked and threw in a black woman and made it co-op to appear the masses

I just realized that the protagonist is the tweaker from Weapons. It doesn't look bad and I'll probably watch it when it hits streaming.

I just don't understand why he needs to put the franchise tag on this, his movies get enough attention as-is. In fact, after Weapons you would think that he would want to see how many eyes he could get on an ORIGINAL take on zombies.

Yeah I wonder if it was just something with the studio execs and funding. Maybe the guy just really likes the games and wanted to do a resident evil movie. I can see that as a possibility. I don't know though. I've enjoyed both of his other films and it's nice to see somebody trying to make decent horror movies again along with a handful of other directors that I typically end up watching their stuff.

They haven't had many hits with the franchise and Movies/TV. They probably thought this guy could renew trust in the brand.

Constantin Film owns the live action Resident Evil license from Capcom, and while the contract has never been made public, it's widely believed to include some form of a "use it or lose it" clause, possibly requiring a new film roughly every five years to retain the rights.
So the reason this movie exists may simply be that Constantin needed to keep the franchise active and hired one of the most sought after horror directors in Hollywood right now.
Cregger may genuinely love the games, but this likely started with the studio needing another Resident Evil film.

Has my interest for sure. I liked everything except for perhaps the "it's raining zombies" portion. Everything else seemed standard zombie fun.

Theatre.
I don't know much of anything about the game but there's a few moments where it feels like this is literally a game. Looking for ammo, checking how many shots left. A casual viewer won't think twice about it but gamers will be like *wink*
There's a big RV stuck in a tunnel that's blocking off access to the city and it felt like those barriers that keep players contained to the area in ole videos games.
I personally think Weapons and Barbarian are still better but I might be just giving a little extra points to those because of my eternal thirst for original content

I didn't like Weapons and I haven't seen any of Zach's other films.
There were some excellently crafted scenes utilizing top notch shot composition and camera work in this but the story is that of a farce/comedy. When it's doing something serious I was enjoying it and when it was being a comedy I loathed it. I expect to be in the minority on this one like I was with Weapons.
I am confused why the winter themed horror movie is not coming out during the winter nor Halloween either and instead partway through September.
