Must Watch

You step into Raccoon City, a skeletal shard of a once-bustling biotech hub, and feel the weight of secrets crashing from the shadows. Unlike the franchise’s erratic past, this horror leans into low‑key psychological dread, letting the city itself become a character of bone‑dry terror. Jesse Martin's black‑and‑white palette reframes every alley as a living wound, and Joshua Jackson's lean, silent performance anchors the tension. If quiet dread that spreads like mildew is your flavor, this film will stay on your mind. The early‑part pacing lags a bit, and the finale rushes too hard, but the atmospheric core rewards patience.
