If you enjoyed nervously laughing at how much Zach Cregger scared the snot out of you with his exceptional horror, Weapons, last year, then you’ve got a lot to look forward to when it comes to his new Resident Evil movie. In a recent interview with Screen Rant, True Detective: Night Country, and the star of the new film Mercy, Kali Reis, hinted at the kind of tone we can expect when Raccoon City goes under new management. As it turns out, while absolute terror will be a top priority, Cregger will also have some laughs lined up to lighten the mood while people are presumably having their necks and limbs chomped on.
“I will say, for the Resident Evil fans, especially people who are gamers, his crack at an origin story — his version of this – is amazing,” teased Reis. “I think you guys are going to be blown away by his imagination, his ideas, and this kind of comedic kind of journey through this crazy, wild time in this Resident Evil story. I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised.”
