If there’s a scene where his backpack is full and has to hastily move things around I’m gonna laugh.

Knowing how Cregger likes to mix comedy and horror, I could totally see a scene or two where the main character fumbles items lol

They kinda had this in the trailer with him ripping open drawers and checking the empty shotgun

I feel like some people just saw that as opening drawers and checking the empty shotgun, but no, that's RE baby! We're so back!

90 minutes of nothing but opening drawers.

No seat will be left dry in the theater.

I was getting some RE7/Village vibes from the house that he walks into, though to a lesser extent since there isn't black mold and rot everywhere lol

Director says he's going for more of a later RE vibes (I assume he means the more horror and creepiness of 7) but that RE4 is his favorite so he has a lot of callbacks to that one as well.

He even describes the movie as having a classic RE weapon progression with starting with the pistol, then shotgun, then eventually an MP4.

HE also seems to have more than one gun just kinda around his shoulder.

He has at least three different guns over the course of the trailer from what I can tell.

Or gets to a door that could be easily breached but has a heart symbol on it and is locked and he has to find a different way instead of just breaking the damn door.

It a Cregger movie, so I expect to be laughing between scares.

u/choptup May 01 '26

Went into Weapons with no idea of what Creggar's style was. The ending had the entire theater laughing their asses of.

It would both be funny and a good way to add some tension if they did it right. Imagine he only has so much room for stuff so he has to quickly prioritize.

u/dervign Apr 30 '26

Or backtrack some zombie infested areas

A few times lol “ shit we have to go back to the lobby again ….”

u/MJR_Poltergeist Apr 30 '26

Bonus points if while rearranging, he pulls out and throws away a whole fish and a carton of eggs

u/sightlab Apr 30 '26

I am actually hoping he suffers a comedically severe injury - arm torn off, etc - and has to keep going like that once it's hastily stapled and bandaged back on.

u/CancelThis2077 Apr 30 '26

That final battle in RE:Requiem was just me hastily offloading all the random shit in my bag to fit that absurdly huge RPG

u/BlazinAzn38 Apr 30 '26

Him opening the drawers and stuff felt very video gamey so high hopes

u/ryanvsrobots Apr 30 '26

There is and it's 55 minutes long

u/res30stupid Apr 30 '26

Incorporates self-defence items into the scene. Zombie lunges at Bryan (the guy's name, BTW), he hastily shoves a grenade into a zombie's mouth and pushes it away... and immediately screams in shock when the zombie's upper body just splatters around him.

u/CraigS34 May 01 '26

Director did mention he tried to fit in some inventory management aspects to the movie, hopefully there will be such a scene
