Cregger's Resident Evil hits theaters September 18. Features desk inventories the marketing countdown: previews, AMA, tickets, Fantastic Fest, IMAX. Not another thirty-minute grade.

Netflix unlocks James Ashcroft's Alex North adaptation today. I have not screened it. Deadline, the Los Angeles Times, and Metacritic already argue the case: a 90s crime picture in a 2026 login, honest at roughly 111 minutes, haunted by men who go silent until a child is gone.
