The digital release of the new “Resident Evil” by Zach Cregger, director of “Barbarian” and “Weapons”, has taken place — the adaptation is available for purchase and rental on digital platforms, including Prime Video.
The plot centers on medical courier Brian, played by Austin Abrams. After his shift, he agrees to take on one more delivery for double pay: he needs to deliver a container to the central hospital in a snow-covered Raccoon City. But along the way, Brian hits a woman who suddenly runs into the road, leaving him stranded without a car or cell service. Now he must reach the city, find help, and survive the night, which turns into an increasingly terrifying nightmare with every passing minute.
By the time of its digital release, the worldwide box office of “Resident Evil” has exceeded $400 million. The film is now just about $300,000 short of becoming the second highest-grossing horror film of the year.
