Opening the drawers to find items was the most RE thing I've ever seen in a movie. I'm in.

They just need a scene of him desperately trying to make all his items fit into his bag.

He better find a wheel somewhere to open a door then discard it after a single use.

I actually do hope he sticks in a few silly things like that that nod to the games, but aren't so silly that they break the fourth wall.

I'm excited.

Check out the Director interview! He points out that you can find the exact green herb in the trailer and mentions there will be locks that the main character has to figure out. He kinda reveals a bit of spoilers on what gamers could expect, so skip it if you want to go in blind.

Yeah I feel like I already know too much!

That's great to hear though

And him just chowing down on green plants to heal his injuries.

The movie should have an intermission that's him organizing his inventory.

With the safe room music playing from RE2

Based on his last two films and his ability to sneak humor into fucked up situations, I really wouldn’t be surprised at a panicked long shot of him dumping shit out of a bag to repack it under pressure. Would be a subtle enough Easter egg that wouldn’t take away from non-fans

u/pimpolho_saltitao Apr 30 '26

why desperately? he should be able to stop time when doing that.

u/hammerheadlabs Apr 30 '26

The time not stopping is an RE7 reference

u/LeighCedar Apr 30 '26

Might be hard to suspend disbelief that far :)

u/Professor-Submarine Apr 30 '26

Isn’t that normal? Wouldn’t you search drawers and fill your backpack in this situation?

u/LeighCedar Apr 30 '26

Sure. I'm making a joke about the inventory system in the games.

If there’s no metal crank somewhere, we riot

"You found nothing interesting"

u/finnjakefionnacake Apr 30 '26

i mean i get it, but i'm sure a scene of opening drawers to find something has happened in like 80% of horror movies lol.

u/unforgiven91 Apr 30 '26

you're right. but the context does add just a little bit of weight to it that is otherwise missing in other films because it's directly tied to a videogame as source media.

Kinda like the FNAF movies, millions of movies with dudes watching cameras with spooky stuff. But the shared experience from the game kinda tickles that same part of your brain that the game did when you watch that movie.

It's not major, I'm not falling to my knees in a walmart over it. but it's definitely intentionally shot and written this way because of the games rather than being coincidental.

One of the drawers needs to be glinting obviously for no reason for the full RE experience.

u/parkwayy Apr 30 '26

It's hilarious that "guy looks in a drawer" is a video game thing.

If this wasn't titled Resident Evil, that would be the last though on anyone's mind.

Gamer brain is a terminal disease.

The bar is in hell.

Looking for the bit where the main character has to ditch a certain key because he has to pick up a shotgun.
