Resident Evil known as Biohazard (バイオハザード) in Japan is Capcom’s iconic Japanese horror video game franchise that launched in 1996 and redefined the survival horror genre. It remains one of the highest-grossing and best-selling video game franchises of all time, with over 170 million copies sold worldwide as of March 2025. The series has expanded far beyond games into live-action films, animated movies, TV series, comics, novels, a newly announced 30th Anniversary Exhibition, and merchandise.

From the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) comes a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise. In an all-new story, Resident Evil follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in an action-packed, non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
