Austin Abrams Explains the Bold, Tragic End of Resident Evil
In a Hollywood Reporter interview, Austin Abrams breaks down Zach Cregger’s bold ending to Resident Evil, explaining why Bryan’s transformation into a monster is a deliberate, risky choice and how the final voice memo to Michelle underscores a tragic, unseen change. Abrams discusses the on-set challenges (intense action sequences, a near-miss blood bag, and snow runs), the tonal shift between fear and humor, and the idea that the outbreak is indifferent—the ending reframes Bryan as the film’s origin of a new monster, while Michelle never learns the truth about the man she loved.
