In Resident Evil 8: Resurrection (2025), the unᴅᴇᴀᴅ plague is far from over. Picking up after the chilling events of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Village, the franchise returns with a new chapter that promises to deliver heart-stopping horror, unrelenting action, and a deeper dive into the twisted world of the Umbrella Corporation and its ᴅᴇᴀᴅly experiments.
With a fresh perspective and new terrifying enemies, this film introduces a story that expands the Resident Evil universe. The fight for survival is more brutal than ever, as the line between humanity and monstrosity becomes blurred.
Plot:
After narrowly escaping the horrors of the Village and the terrifying Chris Redfield (a fan-favorite), Ethan Winters finds himself drawn into a new nightmare. A mysterious new virus, far more ᴅᴇᴀᴅly and contagious than the T-Virus, emerges, threatening to wipe out humanity once and for all.
Enter The Resurrection Virus, a new strain that reanimates the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ with a terrifying intelligence, creating an army of unᴅᴇᴀᴅ that can think, adapt, and strategize. As the infection spreads globally, a ragtag group of survivors—including Ethan, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine—must team up to stop Umbrella’s newest creations before they unleash a new era of terror. Their only chance lies in uncovering the secret behind The Resurrection Virus and confronting a shadowy force that seeks to control the future of the unᴅᴇᴀᴅ.
But as they get closer to uncovering the truth, they realize that the real monster might be closer than they think.
