On October 12, director Hideo Kojima shared his thoughts on the live-action Resident Evil film directed by Zach Cregger via X. Kojima described the movie not as a direct adaptation of the game, but as a film about the players themselves, likening the experience to watching someone navigate the game with a controller.
The film features a protagonist named Brian, who is portrayed as an ordinary citizen rather than a professional hero. Reviewers noted that Brian's amateur handling of firearms and his nervous demeanor throughout the horror-filled journey mirror the reactions of real-world players encountering the series for the first time.
The movie incorporates distinct game-like mechanics, such as the gradual acquisition of more powerful weapons—starting with a handgun and progressing to shotguns and machine guns. Additionally, the film includes iconic series elements like green herbs and typewriters, while using common gaming tropes, such as specific lock-breaking limitations, for comedic effect.
Public sentiment has drawn comparisons between the film and the gameplay style of Japanese comedian Eiko Kano, with many viewers labeling it a cinematic version of his playthroughs. While Kano expressed confusion over the trend on October 13, the official Japanese Resident Evil X account acknowledged the comparison. The film has been in theaters since October 9.
