Resident Evil Director Zach Cregger Admits 2021 Game Village Terrified Him

Zach Cregger, director of the new Resident Evil film, revealed that the 2021 video game Resident Evil Village scared him, particularly its virtual reality version. His film adaptation is now the highest-rated installment in the franchise. Cregger shared his fear of Village in a recent interview, citing the game’s terrifying atmosphere and iconic villain Lady Dimitrescu. His new movie, starring Austin Abrams as a medical courier in Raccoon City, has earned critical praise for its direction, scares, and fidelity to the source material. Cregger’s previous horror films, including Barbarian and Weapons, have established him as a skilled storyteller in the genre. His ability to blend spooky thrills with character-driven narratives has contributed to the success of his latest project, which opened in theaters this weekend.
