- The Silly Horror of 'Resident Evil'
visão geral
We review Zach Cregger’s ‘Resident Evil,’ an absurd survival-horror comedy powered by Austin Abrams having the worst night of his life. We discuss how the movie captures the experience of playing the games, its inventive scares and slapstick humor, and why its ideas about parenthood and humanity don’t quite match the confidence of its filmmaking. Along the way, we revisit ‘Barbarian’ and ‘Weapons’ and ask whether Cregger’s latest is too nervous about taking itself seriously. Plus, a quick reaction to ‘Practical Magic 2’--join us on Patreon for more movie conversations about new releases, bonus deep dives, and episodes available to free members.
