The Resident Evil movie runtime might have been revealed, and fans are very pleased with it.
AMC lists the film as 1 hour and 35 minutes (via IGN), which is a pretty slim runtime. "Love a tight 90," says one person on Reddit, with another agreeing: "Normalize 90 minute movies"
"This is about the perfect run length for most horror movies, in my opinion. I saw Evil Dead Burn last night, and while I thought it was decent, it definitely dragged a little towards the end and I think it would have benefitted from ten minutes or so being trimmed out," says someone else.
"90min is the sweet spot for action/horror imo. Evil Dead keeps it short and sweet (Burn is the only one longer than 90 minutes) and it's probably the most consistently good horror franchise," says another fan.
"Perfect, 90 minutes feels perfect for this type of movie," says another fan. "BRING BACK THE 90m MOVIE" is another person's thoughts.
"This pretty much confirms he's not exploring any of the Resident Evil lore. Just balls to the wall zombie survival horror movie," thinks another person.
"It feels like one gigantic sequence. Things pop off about five minutes in and it basically stays like that until the end," director Zach Cregger has previously shared. "What I love about the games is that you move from set-piece to set-piece. Every location has a unique challenge... I’m borrowing from the games directly in that rhythm, where you’re just running through a gauntlet."
