This ‘Resident Evil’ movie trailer is full of creepy dolls

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City looks pretty spooky.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City  got a new trailer, and if you’re not a fan of spooky-looking dolls, then maybe avert your eyes now.

Yes, it’s nearly time for this reboot of the Resident Evil  film series to hit theaters. To remind everyone it’s coming out on Nov. 23, Sony released the ‘Nightmare’ trailer. Like the movie’s  other teasers, there are loads of references to the video game series here — specifically lots of shots of Lisa Trevor and her incredibly creepy doll collection. It’s awful but in a good way!

Check Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City’s  Nightmare trailer for yourself below. There’s a Youtube mirror for it here  if you would like to see it in 4K.

If you’re not already in the know about Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, it’s a complete reboot of the Resident Evil movies — meaning there’s no connection to the Milla Jovovich films. Instead, this one is more of an actual adaptation of the video games. In fact, it’s taking the original Resident Evil  and Resident Evil 2  storylines and mashing them up into a single movie.

Speaking of the video games: Resident Evil Village  is getting some free DLC soon and Resident Evil 7  just became the highest selling game in the series. Oh, and we thought Resident Evil 4 VR was great! It’s a damn good time to be a Resident Evil  fan, that’s for sure.

‘Resident Evil 7’ ships over 10 million units, setting a new bar for the series

Wow, Resident Evil is popular or something, guys.

Capcom announced that Resident Evil 7  shipments surpassed the 10 million mark, setting a new milestone for the series.

A press release from Capcom states that some well-timed sales and hype for Resident Evil Village  helped Resident Evil 7 reach this new peak.

“Capcom worked on strategic pricing for the title through seasonal and event-driven discounts in order to strengthen demand among a wider range of game players,” Capcom said. “Further, in May 2021 when Capcom released the sequel and latest title in the series, Resident Evil Village, it executed promotions to leverage synergies between the two titles such as with the release of a bundle containing both games.”

To clarify, “shipping” does not mean Resident Evil 7 has sold over 10 million units, just that demand for the game is high!

Interestingly, these figures come only a week after Capcom’s President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said  the company wants the PC to be its primary platform. Considering how often Resident Evil 7 is on Steam sales, it’s likely that PC copies make up a good chunk of people playing the game.

It’ll be interesting to see if the growing popularity of the series will help Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, the new live-action Resident Evil film, be a hit in theaters. 

Hopefully, this means more survival-horror-centric Resident Evil  games are on the way.

‘Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City’ trailer shows the film series is still ridiculous

Someone better ask for a Jill Sandwich.

So Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City finally got a trailer, and naturally, it’s pretty over-the-top. 

All live-action Resident Evil  movies are goofy, but the big difference with Welcome To Raccoon City is that it has nothing to do with the Paul W. S. Anderson films. Yup, we’re in reboot territory with this one — complete with a storyline that’s closer to Capcom’s Resident Evil video games. Sorry, Milla Jovovich fans. At least you have the Monster Hunter movie?

Welcome To Raccoon City is an adaptation of the first two games. Complete with Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, and virtually every other central character from Resident Evil  and Resident Evil 2. Even zombie dogs are here — which crash through windows for a jump scare in an obvious nod to the games.

Check out Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City‘s new trailer for yourself below.

Johannes Roberts is the director of this one, best known for his shark movie 47 Meters Down — which is a surprisingly decent horror flick.

You can tell Roberts is a fan of the Resident Evil  games just by how many references there are in Welcome To Raccoon City’s  trailer. There’s the Spencer Mansion, Raccoon City’s Police Department, and heck, even an “itchy, tasty” line drawn in blood. Someone better ask for a Jill Sandwich at some point, or I’ll be physically upset.

Hopefully, despite how silly the trailer is, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City  ends up as one of the better video game movie adaptations.
