But it's not a horror adaptation that requires audiences to come in with knowledge of the Resident Evil lore.
As his normal life gives way to a post-apocalyptic fight for survival, Abrams' character remains a relatable everyman, trying his best to last the night through gunfights and mutant attacks.
Beyond the story, though, the real reason the new Resident Evil stands out is that it allows audiences to continue watching Kreger emerge as a name-brand director of the decade – Resident Evil is a non-stop thrill ride, full of slick camerawork from famed cinematographer Darusz Wolski, gross-out gore and effects, and some genuinely hilarious character moments.
In just three horror entries, Kreger has developed an enthralling signature style of capturing action that looks especially great in the snowbound landscapes of his latest film.
After pumping out three of the best horror movies of the past five years, Kreger is not planning on stopping.
Until then, though, audiences have plenty of Kreger to pour over from Barbarian, Weapons, and now Resident Evil.
