Johannes Roberts Strangers: Prey At Night is currently attached to write and direct a Resident Evil movie reboot, which is said to be much closer to the tone of the original games. A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games — he even arguably had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU - where Hawkeye is clearly the best character - to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle.

All Insidious. Action Thor. Thor Thor is a Marvel superhero that made his first appearance in comic books dating all the way back to the s. Action The Mummy. Umbrella seals off the city to contain the virus, creating a ghost town where everyone trapped inside turns into a mutant zombie.
Together, they search for a scientist Jared Harris who might be able to help. Captured by the Umbrella Corp, Alice receives genetic alterations that leave her with superhuman abilities. In a world overrun with the walking dead, Alice continues her battle against Umbrella Corporation, rounding up survivors along the way.
As Umbrella Corp's deadly T-virus continues to turn the world's population into legions of flesh-eating zombies, Alice awakes deep within Umbrella's secret operations facility. Umbrella-controlled Jill is therefore the primary antagonist here, until Alice gets the spider off her and returns her to normal. Our surviving heroes visit Wesker in his new HQ in the White House, where Wesker injects Alice with T-Virus again, bringing back her superpowers the better to save the world.
We leave them on the White House roof with millions of zombies converging on the lawn and down Pennsylvania Avenue It plays in reverse, pre-empting Tenet by nearly a decade. Remember everything that happened across the last few films? Well, prepare for some major retconning. In spite of what we saw, we're told Alice didn't get her powers back after all, and that Wesker faked the whole episode. The Red Queen is a good guy now, and appears to Alice to tell her that she needs to get back to The Hive in Raccoon City, where there's a new airborne anti-virus that can save humanity.
There's a story-so-far recap that bears absolutely no resemblance to the actual story-so-far. It's quite something. Iain Glen is back as Dr. Isaacs, because it turns out the previous one was a clone. In a re-write of the Angela Ashford business we learned in Apocalypse , we're now told that Isaacs was the business partner of Umbrella founder Alexander Marcus , and the T-Virus was created as a treatment for Marcus' own sick daughter Alicia.
Isaacs had Marcus killed by Wesker and adopted Alicia. Umbrella, with Wesker at the helm again, is now simply waiting out humanity's demise so that they can reboot the world on Umbrella terms. The Red Queen — who Isaacs now created, based on Alicia — can't simply kill Wesker because she apparently can't kill Umbrella employees This leads to a moment nicked from Robocop where Wesker gets fired to make him killable.
Alice reconnects with Claire Redfield and a new band of scrappy survivors including Ruby Rose , and they all re-enter The Hive, which is accessed via the bomb crater resulting from the second film's Umbrella nuke.
They battle zombie dogs and traps, and eventually Alice reaches the cryogenic capsule containing Alicia Marcus. At this point, we learn that Alice has been a clone of Alicia all along. And speaking of clones, another clone of Isaacs who thinks he's the real Isaacs kills the real Isaacs, and is then set upon by zombies.
Wesker blows up The Hive with everyone in it, including himself. But the anti-virus is released, Claire and Alice survive, and The Red Queen uploads Alicia's memories into Alice's brain, supposedly bringing us full circle. Alice, who you might remember woke up in the first film with no memory, is now fully restored, despite that restoration largely contradicting what we learned about Alice 15 years ago.
We bid her a final farewell as she prepares to carry on her zombie-battling work while the airborne anti-virus slowly makes its way around the world. Thus concludes The Final Chapter , which unusually for a horror franchise, really was the end — at least as far as this particular Resi "universe" was concerned. Best set-piece : Alice races a Hummer through the ruins of Washington DC and fights one of the giant Bat-Dragon things from the fifth game.
This was the last sequence of the entire franchise to be filmed. So, what's next? Roberts wrote the screenplay with Mortal Kombat 's Greg Russo, and says it's a straight adaptation of the first two games, leaning into the horror and the dark, rain-soaked atmospherics.
