[Movie] Resident Evil (2026) — I Didn't Expect to Enjoy This Much

Honestly I had no expectations from Resident Evil when I started watching it ir kaybe a bit. Because I was not really sure how much I would like or dislike that film. But sometimes, it is better to not have any expectations from the movie and be able to patiently watch the film and enjoy it for what it is.

My favourite thing would be the balance of the horror between some funny moments. Okay so, when I laugh the next moment I would be scared. Still I liked it so much I was excited about what was gonna appear next, hehe 😂

Okay so, there was a scene that scared me to death.

! [Spoilers Ahead!]

Bryan was looking through the window and I could see the lady running towards the house where he was. The scene already felt strange and I was watching carefully to see what was going to happen. I was focused on the lady and what was happening outside.

Then suddenly there was this guy behind him who attacked Bryan. It was a jump scare and it made me scream loudly 😭

My parents came running into my room thinking that something happened with me and when they knew it was because of a movie they were relieved but mad at me. My mom said, "You're insane" 😂

Anyway, they have perfectly made Bryan's character he is all clueless about the entity, that he had no idea what the hell was going on, he can't even shoot properly. So watching him struggle in every single scene was interesting for me as a viewer. He had to work at it couldn't just casually stroll through life.

Also, the movie did not take a pause or make it unnecessary lengthy and that made it not boring at all. I never felt like I was sitting around waiting forever for something to happen. There was always something going on screen and Bryan had to deal with it because of the circumstances.

There were some scenes which gave me a reminder of the the game so people who have played the game or seen live streams they would know this. Like searching for ammo, unable to open doors and gates, trying to find a way to escape, survive and others made it familiar to game. Although it was not necessary to have a great knowledge about the game in this movie to understand what was happening there.

I really got myself invested for Bryan and his story so, I was a bit disappointed in the end. At the beginning, I wanted to watch it because of the game but then I began to think about the main character and his survival.

I feel Bryan deserved one last chance. The poor guy already had been put through enough for that one night. I just wanted him to have breaks because he had suffered a lot and how could it all go in vain?

So, yeah when I started watching the movie and it did not dissapoint me instead I laughed, I was feeling good and got curious about our protagonist.

And yes... I'm gonna keep blaming that window scene for making me scream and scare my parents, hehe. 😂 But I still wish Bryan gets the antidote somehow and recover. Many people disliked it because it did not end on good terms, I also wanted to see more of the story but sadly we won't be getting any conclusion for that. Maybe we have to accept that not everyone is a survivor and we can't always expect the protagonist to survive because that's what happens in every story. I think writer and director wanted to avoid same storyline and for that reason they let his story end like that. Also, Bryan was not a character from the Resident Evil game but I think many of us wished he was a part of it because his character was more relatable to us.

So from my point of view, Resident Evil can be a good choice if you like survival horror movies. It's a brilliant movie just make sure not to scream loud like me, hehe. If you have a weak heart don't watch it because there are many jumpscare. I couldn't even finish my food because of some gross stuff on screen. And I would not recommend to watch it with kids because it's too bloody and disgusting. I watched this alone and got scared so better have a partner to watch with 🤣.
