Zach Cregger Takes the Wheel on 'Resident Evil' — Early Buzz Just Dropped

Zach Cregger's 'Resident Evil' reboot just had its premiere, and the early reactions are in. This is Sony's second swing at rebooting the franchise — different energy from what came before, which tells you something already.

Cregger's an interesting choice to helm a major action-horror tentpole. He's built his rep on comedy and absurdist humor, which could either elevate the camp factor or completely miss the mark depending on who's watching. The guy doesn't make straightforward anything, so whether that works for a 'Resident Evil' story is exactly what people are trying to figure out.

The film drops September 18th. If the premiere reactions are any sign, this one's gonna spark conversation — could be the kind of reboot that gets people talking because it swings for something different, not despite it.

Check what critics and fans are saying about it.
