Resident Evil Movie Early Test Screening Scores Set Up Big Expectations for the Movie
The information regarding the early test screening of the Resident Evil movie comes from insider DanielRPK’s latest post on X (formerly Twitter). According to Daniel, the reactions to the movie were “great.” However, fans in the comments section express mixed feelings about this news. While some are excited, others are skeptical about whether the film will resonate with dedicated Resident Evil fans.

At the moment, there isn’t much information about what to expect from the upcoming movie. Cregger has confirmed that the title could be set between Resident Evil 2 and 3. Additionally, there has been a synopsis leak for the project as well, which talks bout Bryan, who is portrayed by The Walking Dead’s Austin Abrams, who has to go on a late-night delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital, where all the strangeness unfolds, with him stumbling “into a full-blown outbreak involving horrifying tentacle-based mutations and bio-engineered monstrosities.”
In other news, the Resident Evil movie will not feature franchise favorite character, Leon Kennedy, due to its original setting.
