Resident Evil: Zach Cregger Made the Game I Remember

SPOILER ALERT

Jason and Rachel are joined by Hollywood Insider/Master of Macabre DanDanThePieMan to review Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil — a video game movie about what happens when a completely normal guy with no survival skills suddenly finds himself trapped inside a survival-horror nightmare.

Jason talks about discovering the original Resident Evil on PlayStation in the ’90s and staying up until sunrise watching friends play, while the gang gets into why this movie works by capturing the feeling of playing a video game instead of simply recreating the game’s story.

Plus: why Jason thinks this is a smarter way to adapt video games, why some Resident Evil fans are furious, the surprisingly dark ending, and our official ranking of Cregger’s three movies: Barbarian, Weapons, and Resident Evil.
