Resident Evil first reactions out on X [formerly Twitter]
Resident Evil is the second reboot of the franchise, and ahead of its theatrical release, the first 30 minutes were shown to critics and select viewers. Sharing their opinions on social media X one of the lucky viewers Lexcifer Morningstar said, “Zach Cregger #ResidentEvil brings the intense thrilling POV the games are well known for via Austin Abrams character as well as nerve racking laughter that is well balanced. The 30 minutes we saw set up for one Hell of a Ride of a movie. From scouting for items to frantic aiming.”

Film critic Tyler Disney said, “I was fully prepared to roast Resident Evil, but the opening 30 minutes shut me up completely. Zero hand-holding. Filthy, brutal atmosphere. Zach Cregger made a banger!! Are we finally breaking the RE movie curse, or are you still skeptical?”
Rotten Tomatoes-certified critic Joey Magidson said, “Was just shown the first 30 minutes of Resident Evil. Surprisingly funny! Felt very Barbarian, Zach Cregger wise. Feels like his version of the survival horror games, so consider me very much in for whatever insanity the next hour holds.”
Entertainment writer Christopher Gallardo wrote, “Those FIRST 30 MINUTES of #ResidentEvil are ABSOLUTELY WILD. Zach Cregger really keeps you on your toes with the scares and Austin Abrams’ chaotic and clumsy energy perfectly fits the intense tone. It truly reflects that gaming experience every player has with survival horrors.”
AMC Over Noise shares, “Got to see the first 30 minutes of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil and yeah, the reactions are justified. Austin Abrams plays Bryan, an emergency organ courier heading toward Raccoon City as the T virus nightmare starts unfolding, and Cregger keeps the camera locked behind him in a way that feels straight out of the games. You start scanning every hallway, doorway and dark corner waiting for something to move. It is tense, nasty, weirdly funny and keeps escalating without feeling ridiculous. Best part, Cregger basically said this is as good as things get for Bryan. If the rest of the movie keeps building from here, Resident Evil is going to absolutely rip in a packed

Another user said, “zach cregger is without a doubt the best contemporary horror director for me; casually bringing back the trope of deformed cellar monsters, dropping a roald dahl inspired mystery witch thriller, and now a big budget evil dead 2 coded resident evil? insane run.”
