I would 100% give this guy a gallon of PCP

I didn’t even know it came in liquid form

Do you do a lot of PCP?

Might be a good horror movie because of the director's track record. But it looks like it's a bad Resident Evil movie, based on the trailer and poster.

I love Resident Evil. I've played just about all the games and seen all the movies

I wasn't aware there was a good Resident Evil movie

C'mon, the first one was pretty decent even if it did its own thing.

I didn't say I didn't like it, it's one of my favorite zombie movies

But it was a 2000's video game film adaptation, the contemporary reviews were doomed from the start

Maybe this goes against the prevailing internet sentiment, but as someone who enjoyed Barbarian and really enjoyed Weapons, I'm excited for this film and I think Cregger can deliver. Maybe I'm in the minority... but I don't need to see Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield in a movie parrying a chainsaw with a hand axe in order to enjoy myself. Video game characters are notoriously shallow and one dimensional for a reason- we're supposed to fill them in with our own experiences as we, you know, play the game. It's a different medium than film.

What I would like is a zombie horror film that can stand on its own and be good in general. Does it take place in Raccoon City? Great. Does it have some nods to the games, inside jokes, easter eggs? Great, love that. Does it have Leon Kennedy? I don't care. I really don't. The coolest part of Resident Evil has never been the main characters. They're practically cardboard cutouts. The coolest part of Resident Evil is cramped hallways, a lack of ammo, bizarre mutated monsters, social commentary on corporate corruption, etc.

Just give me a good horror movie first. The rest is secondary.

I can't believe my boy Zack, who portrayed Lincoln so well, is now a big shot director
