- [New] | Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Cregger is now three-for-three in his young career, making films that both pay tribute to and subvert horror conventions at the same time. Resident Evil is a blast for fans of the genre, featuring a great lead character, a slew of memorable moments, and indelible visuals that might haunt your dreams.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …damn if Zach Cregger has not only resuscitated the franchise, he’s completely remade it, albeit with bits and pieces we’ve seen before…The film’s biggest surprise may be just how funny it is, an unqualified blast.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: You don’t need any prior knowledge to get swept up in the madness. Director Zach Cregger delivers an exciting, expertly paced thrill ride with a flair for both humor and scares.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: The video game franchise finally spawns a decent movie.
- [New] | Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Zach Cregger hasn’t necessarily one-upped himself with ‘Resident Evil’ so much as shifted his focus to create a well-crafted, goopy horror-comedy that perfectly captures the inimitable feeling of playing a survival-horror game. But there’s enough blood-vessel-bursting energy, creatively explosive set pieces, and pure narrative propulsion here for it to easily claim the hyperbolic title of best video game movie ever.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: A reboot with enough fresh blood to keep the limbs twitching, Zach Cregger’s take on the zombie franchise is plenty game before the virus gets it.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: By utilising the setting of the first two games and placing a brand-new character there, Cregger builds moments of unbearable tension and employs gore in a way few other recent films of this ilk have done.
