Resident Evil (2026)

What earned the score

• Woman in Scientific Role

  Maxine is an Umbrella scientist, placing a woman in a technical role in the outbreak story. This is a female-representation choice.

• Disposable Black Girlboss Gunfighter

  Maxine is introduced as a Black woman in command, talking down to a male scientist before shooting infected people running through dark streets while Bryan looks lost. The film briefly casts her as a competent female gunfighter, then kills her off, making the girlboss display feel like a disposable DEI insertion.

  No sexual content.

• Frightening Scenes Severe

  A character is infected and mutates.

  A blood bubble pops in the maternity ward causing a creature to crawl out from it remaining unseen.

  A zombie vomits Acidic vomit and disintegrates the elevator which "Brian, the main character" is riding in making the floor fall apart which makes him fall, making him hold onto the edge dangling with one hand from 17- 21 stories.

  The main character rapidly mutates into a half-man half-monstrous creature. This happens at the end of the movie in a location that is implied to be capable of creating a cure. Very grotesque and frightening. You can hear him begging for help as he transforms into something that is no longer fully human.

  The entire movie from beginning to end is intense. Moments of relief are few and far between, as danger is constant.

  Sustained horror and survival situations.

  Young girl is found by the main character. She mutates and attacks him before he shoots her.

  Characters are repeatedly placed in life threatening situations.

  Frequent jump scares and monster attacks.

  Graphic creature imagery and body horror may be disturbing for younger viewers.

Reviews

• ★★★★★ 5 stars All Clear

  Abortion is mentioned a couple times, but there is nothing involving xenogenders so it’s not woke.
