The new year starts off with a bang tomorrow for Resident Evil and George Romero fans, thanks to Uncork’d Entertainment and Key 13 Films. Announced back in 2022, Director Brandon Salisbury‘s George A. Romero’s Resident Evil documentary finally gets a release on digital and on-demand on January 7. And for those people who were in the dark about the whole thing, there’s a brand-new trailer to get you psyched up for what’s to come.

In 1998, Constantin Film set out to bring Resident Evil, the legendary horror video game developed by Capcom, to the big screen. They enlisted the man who redefined the zombie genre, George A. Romero, to adapt the project. But despite the perfect pairing of horror’s greatest minds, Romero’s vision for Resident Evil was never realized. Now, for the first time, Salisbury’s documentary uncovers the hidden story behind the project that captivated fans and the horror industry alike.
