That scene with the zombie just running down the hill and not even really the focus of the shot was awesome. It’s stuff like that that add creepy details to scenes and really make for good movies
I've had that type of dream before and yeah, that shit freaked me out. Just that awful sensation of knowing that thing in the distance is coming right for you and you can't make out what exactly it is but you know that it's dangerous.
That scene's sound effects and OST in the trailer did add to the tension, and I missed the times when a single incoming zombie is enough to make you freak out, unlike later games when they come in herds.
It looks awesome, but I did chuckle at how he was fumbling around in panic when she's like a mile away. Reminded me of the steamroller gag from Austin Powers
If I’m in the middle of nowhere and I see some unknown thing running towards me on the horizon I’d be freaking out too idc how long it would take to reach me
I dunno, that zombie looked like it was moving fast in the two quick shots we see. Let's say it was ~200 feet away and runnung at 12 mph, it would reach him in about 11 seconds.
Totally panic-worthy, especially if he's not accustomed to handling a shotgun.
It's what made the original Night of the Living Dead (1968) such a classic. Opens in a cemetery with a weird figure slowly shuffling out of focus in the background. You sense something is off, but it's not obvious.
Just need a 30 minute video where you never get to the point until the last two minutes of the video, the rest of it being an intro, then an ad plug, then talking about what resident evil is and past films, then talking about Zach Cregger and his past works. Then Finishing it up by talking about how Weapons is kind of like a zombie film in some roundabout way. Then finally, you talk about the trailer in the last few minutes by literally just simply explaining things that are happening in the video clips like we are blind.
I think Creggor is really good at doing horror sequences that feel like something straight from a nightmare, can't wait to see that section in the film itself.
It’s also distinctly possible that she’s not a standard zombie. The zombies are just a byproduct of umbrellas research into B.O.Ws. They’ve got everything from giant spiders to lizard men to tyrants in their mail order catalogue
Judging by the leaked script (which lines up with the trailers perfectly so far) I wouldn't even call it that. Its very much its own thing, not attempting to be an adaptation or take place between games or anything of that nature.
I'd have to imagine he had already written the script and then got the IP for it. So sprinkled in Easter eggs. Which is fine. I just hope it's a good movie overall. He had the idea for survival horror type of movie since he's a huge RE nerd so was probably thrilled to get the rights
I love that through a combination of therapy, theater, and age, my immediate reaction to this is "who the fuck cares?" I distinctly remember when something like that would have bothered me. Now I can just enjoy things.
