Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Film Runtime Matches Early Audience

The official runtime of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil adaptation has finally been revealed by AMC Theaters, and it seems to hold up with reactions from early test audiences.

As of July 15, movie-lovers can find Cregger’s Resident Evil listed on AMC’s website, which lists the flick at one hour and 35 minutes long. Given the film comes out in September, tickets still aren’t available to buy, but you can set a reminder for when sales eventually open. This runtime aligns with Cregger’s vision for the movie, focusing on a character's survival in Raccoon City during Resident Evil 2 events. The story promises a cinematic journey through escalating environments, as described by Cregger in an interview with PlayStation.

Early screenings have garnered positive feedback, describing the film as an intense thrill ride akin to the “Fury Road of horror.” Cregger's unique take on the franchise offers a fresh perspective on the Raccoon City Incident, incorporating elements that pay homage to the original games while delivering a new narrative experience for fans.
