Explained simply
Resident Evil began as a video game series in which players explore dangerous places, manage limited resources and decide whether to enter rooms that may contain threats. Its suspense often comes from uncertainty about what lies ahead, as well as the challenge of finding a way back.
Zach Cregger is the filmmaker behind the horror films Barbarian and Weapons, which also build tension around characters entering places they have reason to fear. His approach to the Resident Evil adaptation matters because the story’s unfamiliar settings and threatened routes back are central to how the games create unease.
