Som du måske ved, så kommer der et totalt reboot af Resident Evil som filmfranchise fra manden bag Weapons, Zach Cregger, senere på året, og alt tyder på at den her opgave er faldet i de helt, helt rigtige hænder denne gang.
World of Reel har bragt en detaljeret rapport om filmen, som i disse dage finpudses og testscreenes, og angiveligt tester den meget, meget positivt, og åbenbart går den primært efter spænding.
"I come with promising news. A test screening recently occurred for "Resident Evil," and it went very well, with reactions strongly positive. Early word is that Cregger hasn't just made another video game adaptation - he's delivered something lean, mean, and very confident. The runtime is 90 minutes, and it's apparently all gas, no brakes. The film is said to be almost entirely built around tension, One attendee I spoke to called it a horror version of 'Fury Road.' There's barely time to breathe."
World of Reel er ikke de eneste der har hørt positive reaktioner fra testpublikummer, der har været med til en af disse screeninger.
"Cregger is said to pull off A-level genre filmmaking almost effortlessly. The movie prioritizes momentum over exposition, with minimal character development and a heavy emphasis on forward motion. Monsters show up often, practical effects dominate, and the set pieces are front and center. The environments are tight and claustrophobic, very much in line with the early games."
