‘I’m a big Zach Cregger fan’: Angela Sant’Albano gushes about the Resident Evil movie and likens Bryan to her own Grace Ashcroft

Angela Sant’Albano, who plays Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem, praised Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film and said its lead, Bryan Hodukavich, has something in common with Grace: both are ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. She said this makes them relatable to audiences and can heighten the horror, because viewers can imagine themselves in their position.

Sant’Albano told Radio Times Gaming she is a fan of Cregger and enjoyed his earlier film Weapons. The article contrasts Bryan, an everyday delivery driver, and Grace with Leon Kennedy, whose confidence and combat skills make his game sections feel more action-oriented. Its author praises the film as one of the strongest video game adaptations, while noting that a meeting between Bryan and a game protagonist is not possible.
