A graduate of McMaster University, Ryan began his career in public relations before attending Vancouver Film School. There, he built lasting industry connections and optioned a feature film screenplay. Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie is coming to VOD. Marking Cregger's follow-up to Weapons (2025), the adaptation of Capcom's Resident Evil video game franchise stars Austin Abrams as a medical courier who finds himself facing off against mutated monsters after being tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital. The movie hit theaters on September 18, quickly becoming a hit with audiences and critics alike. Per a new listing on Amazon Prime Video, Resident Evil is now set to come to VOD, with the release date listed as November 2 at 10:30 p.m. EST. The film will be available on all major VOD platforms, including Fandango at Home and the Apple TV store, with the price expected to be set at the usual $24.99 to purchase and $19.99 for a 48-hour rental. There's no word yet on when the horror adaptation might arrive on 4K UHD and Blu-ray. Also starring Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser, Resident Evil's worldwide box office gross stands at just under $400 million, making it a massive hit. This total, which includes $157.3 million domestic and $242.6 million internationally, makes Cregger's the highest-grossing Resident Evil movie ever by a considerable margin. Critically, the film has also been a win. On Rotten Tomatoes, Resident Evil has a stellar 96% critics' score from 303 reviews, with praise aimed at the film's brisk pace, mix of humor and scares, and Abrams' leading performance. Despite the controversies about the movie's game-accuracy on social media, the film's Popcornmeter is also strong at 90%, indicating widespread audience acceptance. Brandon Zachary's Resident Evil review for ScreenRant is similarly positive at nine out of 10. For Zachary, the film is a "lean, mean monster movie," that walks an effective tonal tightrope and creatively incorporates elements of the games. Zachary writes: The streamlined narrative leaves room for Cregger's distinctly hilarious gallows humor and talent for horrifying image-making, taking cues from the games while also utilizing the broader lore for inspiration. Some of these monster reveals are pure Cregger – a memorably bloody maternity ward in the latter half of the film that is beautifully nightmarish. With such a positive reception thus far, Resident Evil seems poised to become a hit on home viewing platforms following its digital release. Continued success on VOD would only increase the chances of a sequel, which, as of writing, remains unconfirmed. Though the future of Resident Evil on the big screen remains up in the air, the film's success bodes well for Cregger's next project. After previously also achieving acclaim with both Barbarian (2022) and Weapons, Cregger's next movie is The Flood, a sci-fi thriller with an expected release in 2028. It was recently announced that Jennifer Lawrence is leading the cast. It remains to be seen whether Cregger will return to the world of Capcom's horror video game series in the future, but Resident Evil certainly makes a strong case that his horror sensibilities are a strong match for the franchise. With a VOD release now imminent, it may not be too long before the film's official arrival on a streaming platform is confirmed.
