Zach Cregger's remake of the Resident Evil franchise, in which a medical courier fights to survive a sudden outbreak, screened at Odeon Stoke.
Resident Evil opens at Odeon Stoke on Sunday 1 November, with screenings running through the first week of November. It's a new take on the franchise from director Zach Cregger, who also directed Weapons and Barbarian, and this one keeps things tight, set over a single horrific night.
The story follows Bryan, a medical courier who's right in the middle of a delivery when a sudden outbreak breaks out. He's an inept everyman with no combat skills and little talent for survival, which means he's fighting to stay alive against all odds rather than charging in. The result is a film driven by adrenaline-fuelled pacing and stunning set pieces, and it's a terrifying tale that reinvents the series from the ground up.
On screen, Austin Abrams takes the lead as Bryan, with Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Paul Walter Hauser rounding out the cast. It's a fresh start for the franchise, and with Cregger at the helm, it's a different beast from what's come before.
