<p>Zach Cregger&#39;s Resident Evil (2026) spoiler-free review: two of us loved it, one wanted more. Watch or Skip?</p><p><br></p><p>Zach Cregger&#39;s Resident Evil (2026) is here, and the Watch Skip Plus crew is split! Cupcake and returning guest Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast loved it. Mike had a much more mixed time. This is our SPOILER-FREE review: no plot beyond the basics and no ending talk. The SPOILER&#39;D episode drops later this week.</p><p><br></p><p>After Barbarian and Weapons, Cregger takes on the video game horror franchise with Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Weapons) in the lead and John Wick writer Shay Hatten co-writing. We dig into whether this Resident Evil movie feels like the games, or like watching someone play one. As usual BEFORE verdicts, the hosts discuss production - Cregger&#39;s comedy roots, the co-writer&#39;s hit-or-miss track record, cinematographer Darius Wolski - and how it stacks up against Paul W.S. Anderson&#39;s Milla Jovovich series and the previous bomb reboot Welcome to Raccoon City. </p><p><br></p><p>GO VIRAL and check out our latest! </p><p>- - - - - - - - - -</p><p>WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!</p><p>***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center (click the link in our bio for more information on LFC)</p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVE</p><p>Email us: ⁠WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com⁠</p><p><br></p><p>Be kind.
