Resident Evil and Silent Hill inspired indie horror launches at the end of July
Heartworm is a 90s-inspired survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi and you can try the demo on Steam now before it launches at the end of the month. Heartworm, a bite-sized survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi, is offering a sneak peek with a demo on Steam before its official launch at the end of the month. Heartworm is a 'lo-fi horror' set to release in late July, in a nostalgic nod to the 90s and draws inspiration from cult classics like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Project Zero. It promises all the beloved elements of these games, including door loading screens, a spooky mansion, plenty of puzzles, and a heroine dressed in the quintessential 90s outfit of a t-shirt, cargo shorts, and combat boots. Players will step into the shoes of Sam, a young woman grappling with her grandfather's death and seeking closure online – a decision that leads her to a mysterious mansion in the mountains rumoured to be home to something supernatural. Despite the glaring warning signs, Sam ventures forth armed only with a camera to fend off the eerie, static-like enemies. Don't anticipate AAA visuals with this one. This is a genuine throwback, though you can adjust the settings for a more contemporary feel; specifically a "modern control scheme with 3rd person over-the-shoulder aiming and optional classic tank controls." You can also choose "pixelation and retro effects" if you're keen to fully embrace that classic 90s horror atmosphere. What's more, multiple endings are on offer, so despite the relatively short four-to-six hour gameplay duration, there's plenty of replay value for completionists or those simply curious to explore every avenue of Sam's journey. But when precisely does Heartworm launch for your nostalgic trip? Here's everything you need to know.

RESIDENT EVIL Reboot Director Promises Movie Will Feel Like the Games — GeekTyrant
The Resident Evil franchise has been a staple in the horror gaming world for decades, terrifying fans with everything from classic zombies to creepy mold-infected families. Over the years, Hollywood has tried to adapt the series with mixed results. Now, Zach Cregger, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and the upcoming Weapons , is taking a swing at the franchise with a brand-new reboot. While details about the new Resident Evil movie are still under wraps, it's expected to start filming soon and hit theaters next fall. Fans have been curious about what direction Cregger will take, especially since previous adaptations have drifted far from the source material. During an interview with ComicBook, Cregger opened up about why he wanted to take on the project—and his answer should get longtime fans hyped. The filmmaker said: 'Because I love the games. I played all of the games. I played Resident Evil 4 a hundred times through. I'm obsessed with it. And so, I just want to tell a story that feels like it's honoring the experience you get when you play the games. 'I haven't seen the movies, that's just not my thing. But the games are my thing. That's just a playground I just love….I think the movie is going to rip. I think it's going to rip.' It's wild to think Cregger hasn't seen any of the previous Resident Evil films, but honestly, that might work in his favor. The previous movies were financially successful, sure, but they were messy and often unrecognizable to fans of the games. You can see Cregger passion for the series and there's no doubt that he's aiming to capture the real Resident Evil experience on the big screen. He's also hinted that while the movie will take some liberties with the lore, the goal is authenticity. Recent rumors suggest the story might take place on the outskirts of Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as an outbreak plays a big part in the plot. The new Resident Evil movie is set to hit theaters on September 18, 2026, and if Cregger's enthusiasm is any indication, this could finally be the adaptation fans have been waiting for.

Movie Tea: 'Evil Dead Burn' Enters Production; 'Barbarian' Director To Lead New 'Resident Evil' Movie
Zombies are once again coming back from the dead to take over movie theatres starting next year! From 'Resident Evil' receiving its redemption arc, to 'Evil Dead' receiving a new director – here's the latest and juiciest news on upcoming movies that you can sink your teeth into! Sébastien Vaniček Carries On The Torch For New 'Evil Dead' Movie It's common sense at this point that when you see a cursed book — you don't open it. Unfortunately, some people just can't help but let their curiosity get the better of them. Luckily for us, that means we get to enjoy a new movie, courtesy of Sam Raimi and his upcoming 'Evil Dead' entry. That's right, the 'Evil Dead' franchise is once again rising from the grave to wreak havoc on the living, this time with an entry titled 'Evil Dead Burn'. The news originated from a simple Instagram post – but not from Raimi. Rather, this post came from the French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček. Known for his work in 'Infested' (2023) and 'Crocs' (2018), the relatively green filmmaker is appointed as this film's director in what appears to be a Herculean task. Despite this, you can still feel the energy from this director courtesy of his post, where he shares a photo of a movie clapper with the movie's title and his name as its director, as well as a sneak peek of who the cameraman is. In the post above, we can see one Philip Lozano, a veteran cinematographer known for his work on 'District B13' (2004) and 'Now You See Me' (2013), as the camera operator for the upcoming movie. Outside of the official announcement that shooting is now underway, we don't know anything about 'Evil Dead Burn,' not even if this entry will continue the story of 'Evil Dead Rise' (2023) or any of the previous entries, for that matter. It is being produced by Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Lee Cronin, which might hint that it might be a separate entry, especially with Cronin staying in the producer's chair. However, we aren't completely in the dark about 'Evil Dead Burn.' We know Vaniček wrote the screenplay for the movie, alongside Florent Bernard. Furthermore, it will also include recognisable actors such as Hunter Doohan, Souheila Yacoub, Luciane Buchanan, and Tandi Wright. We can expect 'Evil Dead Burn' to hit cinemas on 24th July, 2026. Zach Cregger To Make 'Resident Evil' Movie More Like The Games Yes, we've all heard it before: some video games were never meant to be turned into movies. You can try, but you can only blame yourself when you set the expectations so high and the movie fails to meet them. No franchise was more of a victim of this than the hit zombie game 'Resident Evil.' However, much like 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' or 'Sonic the Hedgehog', all it needed was a fresh new visionary who's willing to give the IP a try. And who is more worthy of this challenge than horror genre innovator and 'Barbarian' director Zach Cregger? Speaking with Cregger discussed his history with the franchise and how it affected his upcoming take. The director himself is a notable fan of the franchise, boasting that he has 'played all of the games', specifically the most popular one, 'Resident Evil 4'. He is a dedicated enjoyer of Capcom's zombie shooter and would like to take a crack at hopefully succeeding where others have failed. In the interview, he notably stated that 'I just want to tell a story that feels like it's honouring the experience you get when you play the games.' Though Cregger has never seen a single adaptation of his beloved franchise, he seems to be extremely confident in the project, saying that 'I think the movie is going to rip.' Then again, knowing how the movies went, he probably decided to save himself and the adapted franchise altogether by making a newer entry. Naturally, as it is still in its early stages, we don't know what game entry the movie will adapt or if it will be an entirely new and original story made for the big screen. Furthermore, Cregger has stressed that he will be loose when it comes to the Resident Evil lore, but will still do his best to create an authentic experience. has gone on to add that the film might focus more on the 'outskirts of Racoon City,' suggesting that the movie will be either focusing on 'Resident Evil 2' or 'Resident Evil 3.' What we know for sure is that the adaptation is slated for an 18th September, 2026, release window. Sources: Empire,

'Im obsessed with it': Director Zach Cregger on why he wants to direct Resident Evil reboot
Washington DC [US], July 23 (ANI): Director Zach Cregger opened up on his inspiration for helming a reboot version of 'Resident Evil' franchise, reported Deadline. The film adaptation of the Capcom videogame is set to star Austin Abrams, and in a new interview, Cregger revealed why he wanted to tell this story. Cregger is a huge fan of Resident Evil games and claims that he has played Resident Evil 4 a "hundred times" and is "obsessed" with it. "Because I love the games. I played all of the games. I played Resident Evil 4 a hundred times through. I'm obsessed with it. And so, I just want to tell a story that feels like it's honouring the experience you get when you play the games," said Cregger to Comicbook as quoted by Deadline. He continued, "I haven't seen the movies, that's just not my thing. But the games are my thing. That's just a playground I just love....I think the movie is going to rip. I think it's going to rip," as quoted by Deadline. Earlier this year, Cregger attended CinemaCon, where he also provided insight into the Resident Evil film he was working on. "There's a moment that comes in every moment of every Resident Evil game where you find yourself standing in the mouth of a dark passageway. One shot in the gun is left," he said. "You know that something horrible is waiting for you in that darkness, that awful moment where you have to will yourself. That's something that every Resident Evil game has perfected and has kept me and millions of other players returning to the series for decades," added director Cregger as quoted by Deadline. According to Deadline, Cregger added that his film, the reboot of the Resident Evil franchise, will follow one central protagonist from "point A to point B" as they continue their journey. 'Resident Evil' is expected to be released on September 18, 2026, reported Deadline. (ANI)

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot won't stick to the game's labyrinthine lore
Over its 30 years or so of zombie hordes, Umbrella Corporation lab leaks, and Las Plagas infections, Resident Evil has amassed one of the most expansive and confusing mythologies in horror. At this point, Resident Evil games bounce around their labyrinthine timeline as often as they change gameplay styles. Fittingly, it has an equally obtuse movie mythology, with Paul W.S. Anderson's long-running series following his muse Milla Jovovich and abandoning the source material in favor of his post-apocalyptic whims. Audiences read Anderson's Final Chapter to the series in 2017, leading to a first shot at a reboot, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City, which stuck closer to the games' mythology and we swear came out in 2021. The following year, Netflix released a live-action TV series to join a long-running franchise of Japanese animated movies, a Netflix CG animated series, and a documentary about the unmade George A. Romero adaptation. We have plenty of Resident Evil stuff, and more on the way. Speaking to SFX Magazine [via Bloody Disgusting], director Zach Cregger, who is helming the reboot after finishing his next film, Weapons, has already begun preparing fans for a movie that is nothing like the games. 'I am a gigantic Resident Evil game fan,' Cregger said. 'I've played them all. I don't know how many times I've just looped [Resident Evil 4] again and again. I just love it. I'm definitely not trying to be completely obedient to the lore of the game. I'm trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games.' Still, Cregger says that he doesn't believe he's 'breaking any major rules' by taking 'the title back to its horror roots' with a movie that's more faithful to the tone of 'the initial games,' e.g., more survival horror than a first-person shooting in the Bayou. 'All I want to do is just make a really good movie and tell a story that's compelling,' he continues. 'I know that I'm gonna be happy with the movie, and hopefully other people will, too.' 'I will also say, I've never seen a movie like it,' he continued. 'It doesn't jump around like Weapons and Barbarian, but it is still unto itself.' As long as there is a master of unlocking, we'll be fine. Resident Evil infects theaters on September 18, 2026. More from A.V.
