The new Resident Evil reboot film directed by Zach Cregger has reportedly received very positive feedback during early test screenings, according to recent reports.
Whether for better or worse, Resident Evil remains one of the video game franchises that has found the most space in cinema, so it is no surprise that there is strong curiosity around this new reboot.
According to recent rumors, test screenings were held in the last few days, and the opinions from those who attended have been very positive, raising hopes for a film that lives up to the brand it represents.
The information comes from two fairly well-known sources. The first is Dusk Golem, a long-time insider and well-known voice in Capcom’s survival horror community, who wrote on X: “Yeah, grapevine murmurs floating around the rumor sphere is early test screenings around Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film is it’s a great movie.”
The second source is Daniel Richtman, a well-known journalist in the film and television industry, who said: “There was a test screening for Resident Evil. I hear it’s great.”
As always, it is best to take these reports with a pinch of salt until the film officially reaches theaters. The new movie is currently set to debut on September 18, 2026.
