Alright, you've gotten my attention. I still don't have very high hopes for this considering every horror game adaptation ends up being ass, but this does look interesting.

It doesn't feel that connected to the games though. Does this take place in Raccoon City?

IIRC when it was announced, he said it's a unique story with new characters in Racoon City as it falls apart.

I think it's smart to deviate from the games entirely, and just use the RE universe. Won't have to worry about doing justice to a game -> film adaptation.

Weapons was pretty good until the reveal. It fell very flat after that.

Plus side , the bar is on the ground for good movies.

From the abandoned house and lone "just a dude" protagonist it looks similar to RE7. Maybe they want to go into a similar direction.

I'm a bit optimistic as this time it doesn't look like they're just churning out another RE movie to continue to keep the IP of the franchise, and it's actually being treated as a "mainstream" production with a well-known director among other things. It doesn't feel like a cheap B-movie like every other RE film in the past.

I liked the old RE movies, sometimes cheesy is good fun :-)
