Resident Evil Film Scales Back Comedy After Test Screenings
Director Zach Cregger adjusted his upcoming Resident Evil film to reduce comedic elements after test audiences found it "too funny." Drawing from his experience with horror-comedy, Cregger aimed to balance levity with the genre's inherent scares, acknowledging that excessive humor can undermine the atmosphere of a survival horror narrative. This decision reflects a careful approach to maintaining the intended tone of the iconic Resident Evil universe.
