Michael Biehn Warns Of Potential Face Melting In Yet Another ‘Divide’ Clip
In addition to the seven previously released clips, inside you’ll find an eighth from Frontier(s) director Xavier Gens’ post-apocalyptic thriller, The Divide (review), which blasts into theaters this Friday from Anchor Bay Films.
In this graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller starring Michael Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance and Lauren German, “nine strangers—all tenants of a New York high rise apartment—escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the building’s bunker-like basement. Trapped for days underground with no hope for rescue, and only unspeakable horrors awaiting them on the other side of the bunker door, the group begins to descend into madness, each turning on one another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and tensions flare, and they grow increasingly unhinged by their close quarters and hopelessness, each act against one another becomes more depraved than the next. While everyone in the bunker allows themselves to be overcome by desperation and lose their humanity, one survivor holds onto a thin chance for escape even with no promise of salvation on the outside.”
Based on the iconic video game franchise, director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony, and the official runtime has been revealed.
According to the film’s listing on the AMC Theatres website, the runtime for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is 1 hour, 35 minutes, making it one of the franchise’s shortest movies.
And we are expecting a very intense, fast-paced 95 minutes from the film.
Zach Cregger had explained to IGN, “It feels like one gigantic sequence. Things pop off about five minutes in and it basically stays like that until the end. What I love about the games is that you move from set-piece to set-piece. Every location has a unique challenge. I’m borrowing from the games directly in that rhythm, where you’re just running through a gauntlet.”
Here are the runtimes for all Resident Evil movies to date…
- Resident Evil (2002) – 100 minutes
- Resident Evil: Apocalypse – 93 minutes
- Resident Evil: Extinction – 94 minutes
- Resident Evil: Afterlife – 97 minutes
- Resident Evil: Retribution – 96 minutes
- Resident Evil: The Final Chapter – 107 minutes
- Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City – 107 minutes
- Resident Evil (2026) – 95 minutes
The film is being billed as “a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise” from the mind of visionary filmmaker Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons).
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
Cregger directs from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4).
