Horror director Zach Cregger admits surprise over fan reaction to his Resident Evil movie

Director Zach Cregger says he was not ready for the heavy fan backlash he faced while making his new film Resident Evil. The movie follows a courier named Bryan who deals with an extremely difficult day at work. Before this project, Cregger built a strong reputation as a top horror director due to his creative work on past horror hits like Weapons and Barbarian. He is also a longtime fan of the popular video game series itself. Experts previously viewed the pairing of Cregger and the video game franchise as a natural match.
