In discussing the approach, Cregger stated that the forthcoming movie will be true to the gaming experience. The film’s narrative is designed to mimic that of a Resident Evil player, as viewers follow “one main character on their trek from starting point to end point, delving deeper and deeper into a nightmarish abyss.

Cregger clarifies that he’s spent countless hours playing the Resident Evil series, giving him a deep understanding of the franchise’s rhythm. He recognizes its cinematic nature and is excited about the narrative they’re developing within this universe. The Resident Evil movie presents an original story and aligns well with Cregger’s style and his “feel for tone”.
