'Risky and Gutsy': Resident Evil Movie Star Austin Abrams Reveals His First Reaction to The Film's 'Shocking' Finale
Resident Evil movie star Austin Abrams has recalled his initial reaction to the film's finale, which he believes is "crazy and shocking."
Resident Evil movie star Austin Abrams shared his reactions to the shocking and risky finale of the film. The story, directed by Zach Cregger, follows Bryan, an everyday courier, who is tasked with transporting medical supplies into a zombie-infested Raccoon City. Unfortunately, Bryan's fate is tragic as the film concludes with his demise, unable to reconnect with his pregnant girlfriend or make amends after a previous argument.
Despite fighting off zombies and recording a message of reconciliation, Bryan succumbs to his injuries, transforming into a monster. The ending differs from the heroic one seen in other Resident Evil games but Abrams appreciated Cregger's bold decision. Abrams described the ending as "risky and gutsy," a choice that appeals to his love for the unpredictable nature of older films.
While many modern movies shy away from such endings to avoid upsetting audiences, Abrams admired Cregger's willingness to take risks in storytelling. However, it was later revealed that Cregger made post-production tweaks to the ending, which he used to make it even more tragic.
