Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City clip pits Chris Redfield against zombies

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, writer/director Johannes Roberts‘ reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise, has already been in theatres for a week at this point, but the marketing campaign continues with the release of a clip that shows Robbie Amell’s Chris Redfield, a popular character from the Resident Evil games, dealing with zombies in a dark room. You can watch the clip in the embed above.

Directly based on the first two Resident Evil video games, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City has the following synopsis:

Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland… with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever… changed… and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.

In addition to Amell, the cast includes Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon Kennedy, Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Neal McDonough as William Birkin, Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons, Chad Rook as Richard Aiken, Lily Gao as Ada Wong, Marina Mazepa as Lisa Trevor, and Nathan Dale as Brad Vickers.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City had a disappointing opening at the box office and our own Chris Bumbray wasn’t very impressed by it (you can read his 5/10 review at THIS LINK), but I’m still curious to check it out… I just won’t be doing so in a theatre, because I’m not seeing any movies in the theatre these days.
