Content overview: “Hideo Kojima Reviews Resident Evil Movie: Compares It to Playing Original 1996 Game”. Legendary game creator Hideo Kojima has shared his thoughts on Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie, praising its relentless horror and comparing the experience to playing the original 1996 PlayStation game. Kojima, known for his cinephile reviews, admitted he wasn't initially interested but was impressed by the film's use of classic horror techniques and jump scares, noting it felt like playing the game rather than watching an adaptation. He specifically recalled the frustration of repeated game overs, echoing main character Bryan's struggles.
This aligns with Cregger's goal to deliver a game-like experience, though it drew criticism from fans wanting a direct adaptation. The film has grossed over $320 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Resident Evil movie, surpassing 2016's The Final Chapter. Kojima also picked up reading materials for the divisive Tom Cruise film Digger, sparking curiosity about his eventual review.
