The “infected woman” running towards the house in the snow as he is watching through the window has vibes of the people running in the Weapons movie. Chilling

Dude came out of virtual nowhere and made three of the best horror films of the last 10 years basically doing whatever he wants, not shilling out to any studio. Mad respect.

comedy and horror are sides of the same coin I believe.

I’d love to see the world of Weapons and Obsession intertwine. Could easily link Gladys’ tree with One Wish Willow.

Protect Zach Cregger. He's one of the best horror directors in recent decades.

The big reveal,and change of tone in Barbarian is the only scene in the last 20 years that genuinely frightened 😮the life out of me.I honestly thought Bill Skarsgard was the baddie ,how wrong I was

Love this guy, he is a genius & will leave a lasting impact on cinema. Props to his casting director as well, like all the great filmmakers his actors (no matter the size of the role) are perfection!

17:45 "you guys are cowards" literally fell in love with the dude at this moment

My problem with his take is thr movie feels less like Resident Evil horror and more like a dark comedy wearing Resident Evil's skin.
It didn't feel like someone finally had a great idea for a Resident Evil movie. It felt like Zach Cregger had an idea for his own horror movie and used the Resident Evil name, imagery, and built-in audience to get it made

Mr. Cregger don't make no more RE movies if you do at least put someone or a known monster of the game in the next one and try not to make it a comedy either 🙂

I liked the part when Abram's character was happy and had his mouth wide open

His excitement reminds me of a young Seth MacFarlane.

That scene where he’s running around the cop car is even better knowing the camera is supposed to be following Bryan’s attention.

Love that he's also a fan of Gaspar

Not watching past 14:36 till I watch Barb for myself 🙂

I adore how he's trying to sell his vision as a resident evil game point of view/idea but actually doesn't resemble anything close at all to the games lol. I like his style but he is more of a salesperson than a director at this point 😀

13:06 – Well I suppose that idea gets thrown out the window now that we get that unnecessary prequel…

Two of the dudes making the best horror movies were in two of the best sketch comedies.

He explains everything in such a direct non-pedantic way, but he KNOWS what's up. He knows what works and why it works, but he keeps it simple. Gotta respect a guy who's not afraid to say "I did it this way because it looks cool."
