Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil’ Reboot Is Officially the Horror Franchise’s Best Movie

In the midst of Capcom’s hot streak, the Resident Evil franchise has been thriving lately. The iconic survival horror video game giant hasn’t had a complete misfire since Resident Evil 7: Biohazard revitalized the series with a first-person perspective and a refocused approach to the scares, landing hit after hit between the remakes and the new installments. Most recently, Resident Evil: Requiem brought back fan-favorite Leon Kennedy to great results, giving the franchise its biggest launch ever with 5 million copies sold in just five days. The only question that remained was if the series could finally extend that success beyond gaming and onto the big screen.
