The Resident Evil film series returns to mainland Chinese screens after nine years! The new Resident Evil movie, Resident Evil: Outbreak Night, has been officially confirmed for release in mainland Chinese theaters, with the release date TBD. The film will hit North American theaters this Friday (September 18).
The movie Resident Evil: Outbreak Night has been officially confirmed for release in China. Two posters, "Blood-Curdling Night" and "Frenzied Breakout," have been released, showcasing the tense atmosphere before the apocalyptic crisis.
In the "Blood-Curdling Night" poster, medical courier Brian (played by Austin Abrams) is driving to deliver medical packages when he encounters mutated monsters on the road. The red glow of the taillights serves as an alarm, hinting at unknown dangers lurking in the darkness.
The "Frenzied Breakout" poster captures the scene of Brian entering Raccoon City alone. Amidst heavy snow and fog, the outlines of buildings become blurred, while overturned vehicles and mutated creatures gathering on the rooftops on both sides signal that danger is imminent. Mutated monsters run rampant, and an uneasy atmosphere envelops the entire city; you can feel the film's tension just from the poster!
Resident Evil: Outbreak Night is rooted in the Raccoon City setting of Resident Evil 2. Medical courier Brian works overtime late at night and accidentally stumbles into a terrifying night of full-blown zombie outbreak, forcing him into a desperate struggle for survival. The film returns to the IP's core horror elements, staying highly faithful to the feel of the early games, incorporating first-person shooter perspectives and handheld wide-angle lenses, while also hiding numerous game Easter eggs.
Directed by Hollywood thriller maestro Zach Cregger and starring Austin Abrams, Resident Evil: Outbreak Night tells the story of ordinary medical courier Brian, who accidentally gets caught up in the Raccoon City virus crisis and must find a way to survive in the out-of-control city. Coming soon to theaters nationwide, get ready for a SPINE - This is Gun Fu-chilling thriller feast! (Friendly reminder: Minors should watch with caution.)
