Sony’s new reboot Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was released exclusively in theaters last month, but when can you expect to be able to watch it at home? Well, surprise, because Sony just dropped the new movie on Digital platforms TODAY, totally out of the blue!
You can rent Welcome to Raccoon City for $19.99 through your favorite VOD platform! The film is also still available in theaters, where it has scared up just over $30 million worldwide.
Meagan wrote in her review of Welcome to Raccoon City, “Johannes Roberts succeeds in creating a far more faithful, horror-driven Resident Evil movie. This adaptation makes strange choices with its characters and can be rough around the edges, but it offers a compelling lead and succeeds in suspense-filled sequences. Roberts keeps things moving briskly.”
You can watch the first 10 minutes of the movie below!
The reboot from Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) is said to kick off “a new universe inspired by storylines and characters from Capcom’s classic games.”
Here’s the full official synopsis for the new movie…
“Returning to the terrifying roots of the massively popular franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games of the billion dollar franchise and the most successful video game adaptation in history to life for a whole new generation of fans.”
“Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever…changed…and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.”
The cast includes Kaya Scodelario (Crawl) as Claire Redfield alongside Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia (Zombieland: Double Tap) as Leon S. Kennedy, and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.
Additionally, Donal Logue (Silent Night, “Gotham”) is playing Chief Irons in the “origin story adaptation” of the games that’s set in Raccoon City in 1998.
