Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil Ending Should Make Hardcore Gamers Happy

The Wild Ride of Raccoon City

So, picture this: Raccoon City is a zombie-infested, mutated monster playground, and our protagonist Bryan, played by the ever-awkward Austin Abrams, is stumbling through it like a server in a crowded restaurant dropping trays. Yep, that’s our boy trying to deliver an organ like it’s a hot pizza on a Friday night, except instead of saving a child’s life, he’s just trying to save his own skin. Spoiler alert: things don’t quite go as planned.

The Hilariously Dark Ending

In a final act twist that would make even the grimmest of horror movie fans giggle, Bryan ends up lugging around a mystery compound that’s supposed to be a cure for the T-virus. Spoiler number two: it doesn’t save him. Imagine rushing to deliver a life-saving package only to turn into a grotesque mix of a horror movie villain and a malfunctioning sci-fi experiment. We’re talking giant eyeballs, extra mouths, and arms that look like they belong in a circus’s freak show! Bryan doesn’t just turn into ‘the monster,’ he becomes a full buffet for those hapless scientists nearby and throws the supposed cure to the wind! Who needs saving anyway, right?

Horror Movie Endings: A Delicate Balance

Now, before we get all serious, let’s chat about the ending. As a horror fanatic, I appreciate a good downer, but this one feels a bit too cold-blooded. There’s a whisper of irony as Bryan learns he wants to be a dad just before turning into a science experiment gone wrong. Hilariously tragic, right? It’s like he tried to do a nice thing and got slapped by the universe—#lifeisntfair.

Fans, Get Ready to Foam at the Mouth

Now, here’s the kicker. Despite the grumbles from Resident Evil purists who are probably too busy arguing about Leon S. Kennedy’s abs, this movie fits snugly into the lore of the games. It might not star the usual heroes, but it captures that ‘spooky as heck’ vibe we all know and love. While some fans are scratching their heads over the T-virus’s confusing family tree, the film nails the aesthetics and atmosphere like it was born to it.

Finding the Beauty in the Grime

For any old-school gamers, Bryan’s narrative echoes the tales of Leon and Claire as they navigate the chaos of Raccoon City. He’s not the hero saving the day; he’s just another sad song in the tragic opera that is the Resident Evil universe. The audio recordings he leaves behind could easily be found by heroes rummaging through the aftermath, wishing they had stayed in bed that day instead of dealing with bloodthirsty zombies and bioweapons.

In Conclusion

By the time Bryan’s tragic tale rolls to a close, despite the gruesome hilarity and chaotic misfortune, it’s reminiscent of the classic horror stories from those original PlayStation games. So, if fans can’t see it, maybe they should pull out their old consoles and brush up on the rich history of Raccoon City. Resident Evil is like that friend who never grows up, but somehow never fails to entertain. And no, none of us will ever be ready for the mess that follows when Bryan leaves an iPhone behind instead of an old typewriter. Classic Resident Evil, indeed!
