Horror director Zach Cregger expressed frustration over fan focus on whether his Resident Evil film matched the video‑game source material, rather than evaluating the movie itself. He noted that critics and audiences questioned character choices, setting details, and plot deviations, which he felt diverted attention from the film’s own merits. Despite the backlash, the movie opened to strong reviews and $108 million worldwide, eventually surpassing $400 million, prompting speculation about a sequel while Cregger hints at moving away from franchise projects.
