Ready to head back to Raccoon City? Resident Evil: Night of the Outbreak officially opens in theaters nationwide today, and the studio dropped a fresh release-day poster to mark the occasion.
The new image shows Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, getting swept right into the middle of the Raccoon City disaster. What starts as an ordinary night on the delivery route turns into a full-blown fight for survival when bioweapons monsters suddenly show up and the attacks just keep coming.
Every second of this one is tense. The film leans hard into pure horror, stacking one sensory jolt on top of another. It's the kind of movie built for the big screen, where the sound and visuals hit as hard as the scares do.
If you're the type who loves an intense survival thriller, this is aiming straight at you. The movie is playing now, and it's clearly designed to be experienced with a crowd. Grab a friend, settle in, and see if you can make it through the whole escape.
Behind the camera is director Zach Cregger, known for his work in the horror space. Austin Abrams leads the cast as Bryan, the unlucky delivery guy whose night goes completely sideways.
The early numbers are looking strong too. Resident Evil: Night of the Outbreak currently sits at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an MTC score of 79. Not bad for a trip into Raccoon City.
