The new film by Zach Cregger, titled Weapons, has captured the audience’s attention as one of the best titles of 2023. Starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, this horror and thriller film revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a group of children on a fateful night. As the story unfolds, viewers discover the unsettling fate of the children, although the ending leaves unanswered questions, intensifying the suspense.
Zach Cregger is destined for stardom
One of the central characters of Weapons is Gladys, played by Amy Madigan, a woman with magical abilities who turns people into zombies. Her past is enigmatic, and the film reveals fragments of her story without fully unveiling her nature. This ambiguity has led to discussions about the possibility of a prequel focused on her life, as Warner Bros. and New Line have shown interest in exploring more about her past. The film has generated a global revenue of 81.2 million dollars so far, which could facilitate the production of this spin-off project.
Zach Cregger describes Gladys as a metaphor for his own childhood, marked by the difficulties of growing up with an alcoholic father. In statements to Vanity Fair, the director mentioned that this personal connection deepens the film’s narrative. Gladys is presented as a complex being, whose story she keeps secret and who could alternate between being an ordinary person who adopted magic to survive or even a creature that imitates humans.
The success of Weapons, which follows his acclaimed previous film Barbarian, has established Cregger as a prominent filmmaker in the industry. His next work will be on a new installment of Resident Evil, where he has promised a different story focused on the video games and the franchise’s universe. Cregger is also considering other projects, including Henchman and Flood.
The community of the United States has been profoundly affected by the mysterious disappearance of a group of children, a dark event that has been captured in the film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, known for his film Barbarian and for working on the film adaptation of Resident Evil. The work, which has received critical acclaim for its narrative and unsettling atmosphere, explores the aftermath of this tragic event and its impact on the lives of local residents.

The community in the United States has been deeply affected by the mysterious disappearance of a group of children, a dark event that has been captured in the film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, known for his film Barbarian and for working on the film adaptation of Resident Evil. The work, which has received critical acclaim for its narrative and unsettling atmosphere, explores the aftermath of this tragic event and its impact on the lives of local residents.
A director who has proven to be more than capable
In its first weekend at the box office, Weapons achieved a remarkable performance, topping the national charts and earning a total of $27.5 million in 73 international markets, bringing its global revenue to $70 million. This strong debut underscores the audience’s interest in stories that combine horror and mystery, a genre that has seen a resurgence in recent years.
The success of the film is not only measured in numbers but also in the resolute response from critics. Specialists have highlighted the quality of the script and the execution, as well as Cregger’s ability to create an atmosphere of continuous tension that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. This mix of elements classifies Weapons not only as a commercial product but also as a piece of art that invites reflection on loss and despair.
As the film continues its run in theaters, its influence and the dialogue it generates about the disappearance of children and its implications are expected to linger long after the lights go out. Meanwhile, the community continues to grapple with the aftermath of this tragedy, adding an additional layer of emotional resonance to the narrative presented in Weapons.
In the world of video games, survival horror stands out as a genre that is difficult to master, but some studios have managed to make a name for themselves in this field. One of them is Bloober Team, known for their work on titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake and Layers of Fear. Their new project, Cronos: The New Dawn, is generating a lot of anticipation, especially after a 10-minute gameplay was published on YouTube, showcasing the game’s mechanics and the terrifying atmosphere it will offer.

In the world of video games, survival horror stands out as a genre that is difficult to master, but some studios have managed to make a name for themselves in this field. One of them is Bloober Team, known for their work on titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake and Layers of Fear. Their new project, Cronos: The New Dawn, is generating a lot of excitement, especially after a first 10-minute gameplay was published on YouTube, showcasing the game’s mechanics and the terrifying atmosphere it will offer.
A game that powerfully reminds of Silent Hill
This anticipated release, scheduled for fall 2025, is set in a science fiction environment where players will explore Sector A-0. Through the manipulation of gravity and the environment, they will have to advance towards their objectives while facing multiple threats. The video reveals a world filled with layers of terror, where users must move cautiously, peeking around every corner and keeping their weapons ready for a possible attack from the creatures lurking in the darkness.
First presented in October 2024, Cronos: The New Dawn is shaping up to be Bloober Team’s most ambitious project to date. Following the acclaim received with the remake of Silent Hill 2, the studio’s reputation has been revitalized, even achieving the privilege of working on the remake of the first Silent Hill. The positive reaction from fans who were able to play Cronos in private sessions indicates that “Resident Evil fans will be satisfied,” suggesting a blend of mechanics and narratives that could appeal to a wide audience.
The gaming community is showing great enthusiasm for this new title, which is reflected in the comments on the YouTube video. The industry will be watching the development of this project, which could set a new milestone in the horror genre in video games.

Take note of his name: It’s Zach Cregger, known for his work in the entertainment field, and he is directing a new film adaptation of the popular video game franchise Resident Evil, developed by Capcom. In a context where video game adaptations seek to capture the essence of the original stories, Cregger has expressed his deep love for the games as the main motivation to bring this project to life. Because I love the games, he stated in an interview with ComicBook, emphasizing his personal commitment to the source material.
A fan’s vision
The movie, which is expected to bring a new perspective to the saga, will feature Austin Abrams as the lead. Details about the specific role Abrams will play have not been revealed, but his involvement has generated excitement among fans of the series. Cregger is committed to delivering a narrative that resonates with Resident Evil followers, as well as attracting new audiences unfamiliar with the world of video games.
The Resident Evil franchise has undergone multiple film adaptations in the past, but Cregger hopes that his approach will be unique, using his experience and passion to create a story that honors the elements that make the games a cultural phenomenon. Although details about the plot and other cast members are still lacking, the interest in this new chapter is palpable.
With the growing trend of adapting video games to film and television, Cregger’s work could mark a significant change in how these stories are perceived on the big screen. Fans and critics will be watching closely to see if this new version can capture both the essence of Resident Evil and the excitement that these titles have provided to their players over the years. Undoubtedly, Cregger’s vision could have a lasting impact on the future of film adaptations of video games, although for now, the details about possible narrative twists or its connection to the original story are just rumors.
The absence of Leon Kennedy in the trailer for Resident Evil Requiem has generated a sea of speculation among fans of the iconic horror saga. Despite rumors about his inclusion, the trailer focused on the new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, heroine of Resident Evil Outbreak. This decision has led many fans to question Leon’s future role in the game.

The absence of Leon Kennedy in the trailer for Resident Evil Requiem has generated a sea of speculation among fans of the iconic horror saga. Despite rumors about his inclusion, the trailer focused on the new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, heroine of Resident Evil Outbreak. This decision has led many fans to question Leon’s future role in the game.
Leon would not be a good protagonist (according to a man who already lied to us at the Summer Game Fest)
Director Koshi Nakanishi has made it clear that, in his opinion, Leon is not a good protagonist for the horror genre. In a recent video, Nakanishi commented that “making a horror game centered around him is complicated,” suggesting that the character would not be “the type of person who would jump at a noise.” However, this has not stopped the belief that Leon could return as a playable character. Reliable rumors indicate that there will be at least two playable characters, and some insiders, like the well-known leaker Dusk Golem, believe that Leon will be “the protagonist” of the game.
The Resident Evil community is divided between those who believe that Grace will take on the main role and those who hold out hope that Leon will return to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the franchise. It is worth noting that Capcom has managed to capture players’ attention with a demo considered one of the scariest in the series, which intensifies interest in the title.
Resident Evil Requiem is scheduled for release on February 27 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Many players are eagerly awaiting whether Leon Kennedy will have a place in the narrative or if he will finally be relegated to a non-playable appearance, generating greater anxiety around the upcoming game revelations.
The first trailer for the horror movie Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger —director of Barbarian and who will also direct the upcoming Resident Evil movie— has been released, setting an ominous tone that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The plot centers on the strange disappearance of several children in the middle of the night, a baffling phenomenon that leaves the local community filled with unanswered questions.

The first trailer for the horror movie Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger —director of Barbarian and who will also direct the upcoming Resident Evil movie— has been released, setting an ominous tone that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The plot centers around the strange disappearance of several children in the middle of the night, a baffling phenomenon that leaves the local community filled with unanswered questions. According to the trailer, a group of young people seemingly left their homes at 2:17 a.m., for no apparent reason, leaving only one member of their class behind. This mysterious event transforms the life of the community.
A movie that promises to be too much for those with children
The advance offers an intriguing glimpse into the triggering event, with the voiceover of a detective trying to clarify the inexplicable situation. The atmosphere of the trailer is heightened by unsettling images of an alarm clock set to 2:17 a.m., camera movement from an empty bedroom to the open front door, and clips of the young people running around in an empty neighborhood. Undoubtedly, these elements contribute to an effective horror atmosphere.
A highlighted aspect of Weapons’ marketing is the movie’s website, Maybrook Missing, which has gained viral relevance by listing cases of missing children and documenting the shock that has shaken the community. This adds an additional layer of horror, immersing the audience in the mystery from the very first moment.
Cregger’s work presents a link to his previous film, Barbarian, echoing a similar character and context, which could lead to speculation about the connection between the two stories. Weapons features a notable cast that includes Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, and other recognized actors, significantly increasing its appeal. The film will be released in theaters on August 8.
Resident Evil is a highly sought-after franchise. Whether in film or video games, everyone wants to sink their teeth into it. Everything that bears its name sells like hotcakes and, even in its worst moments, it has shown an enviable ability to maintain astonishing numbers. That is why it should not surprise us that in the bidding war to see who will take charge of the new adaptation of Resident Evil, there has been a struggle. And the one who has come out on top is one of the big players with a plan. Because […]
Resident Evil is a highly sought-after franchise. Whether in film or video games, everyone wants to sink their teeth into it. Everything that bears its name sells like hotcakes and, even in its worst moments, it has shown an enviable ability to maintain astonishing numbers. That is why it should not surprise us that in the bidding war to see who will take charge of the new adaptation of Resident Evil, there has been a struggle. And the one who has come out on top is one of the big players with a plan.
Because Sony will produce the next Resident Evil movie. Being a reboot of the series, the plan is for it to be directed by Zach Cregger and written by him along with Shay Hatten, focusing more on the horror aspects of the franchise. Although it still lacks an official title, it already has a release date, September 18, 2026, and although it may not seem like it, all of this is good news.
Why? Because all the pieces fit together in a particularly harmonious way. Of course, everything then has to go according to plan, something that doesn’t always happen, but if it did, there are reasons to have faith. Specifically, three reasons. Which we will break down for you below.
First reason: Sony is not new
The first reason is that Sony is one of the major film producers, but also the only one that has interests in the world of video games. Their relationship with Capcom is very long-standing, both from Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group and from Sony Interactive Entertainment, making them perfect partners for this kind of joint adventure. Especially since Sony previously handled the adaptations of Resident Evil directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and the recent Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
Additionally, Sony, in recent times, has changed its strategy. More focused on transmedia, they are exploring and exploiting the possible convergences between cinema and video games in a more sustained manner over time. This is something they could continue to exploit not only within their own group but also with other Japanese companies, such as Capcom.
Second reason: Cregger and Hatten know it
The second reason is that those involved in this new adaptation come from making good movies. An important detail when making a good film. Zach Cregger has taken the world by storm with Barbarian, one of the most acclaimed horror films in recent years, knowing how to masterfully exploit its limitations to play excellently with a masterful script and actors in top form. Moreover, his scripts for The Civil War on Drugs and more recently, Mars, demonstrate that he has an unquestionable authorial solidity.
For his part, Shay Hatten comes from writing the excellent John Wick 4, although he also wrote the disastrous two parts of Rebel Moon. What should we take away from this? With Zach Cregger on his side, who has also declared himself a fan of the Resident Evil games, and considering that the biggest problem with Rebel Moon is a direction bordering on moral illegality, we trust in Hatten’s abilities in the right context.
Third reason: it’s not the 2000s anymore (thank God)
The third reason is the most abstract, and fortunately, it is no longer 2002. Video games are no longer something that people don’t take too seriously. Paul W.S. Anderson did what he could with Resident Evil and created something unique and interesting in his own way, but it was hardly Resident Evil. And today, more than 20 years later, it is easier to create something faithful to the original work.
It’s not hard to envision a Resident Evil movie that is, well, Resident Evil. Horror, with zombies, a bit ridiculous and humorous at times, but with all the tension and brutality of the games. In fact, Barbarian already has that tone, which is why Cregger is a perfect choice as director, at least on paper. And Hatten has experience writing zombie stories, having penned quite a few films in the genre. Will all these pieces work when put together? We don’t know. But there are reasons to believe they will. And that’s why we must believe. Because maybe, next year, we will finally have a good Resident Evil movie that truly resembles the video games.
Originally released in 1998, Resident Evil 2 marked a turning point in the horror and action genre in video games. Now, it returns to the market in a remastered version for next-generation consoles. Without a doubt, a unique opportunity to enjoy every moment of this iconic game again.
Capcom has reaffirmed its commitment to developing a new original Resident Evil game, distinct from the remasterings of the series in recent times. While titles like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 8: Village have represented the path towards narrative innovation, the company seeks to create an entry that not only satisfies fans but also achieves the critical recognition that has eluded the more recent installments. The decline of the saga since its fourth installment It has been confirmed that Resident Evil 9 is in development and, according to internal sources, the team […]
Capcom has reaffirmed its commitment to the development of a new original Resident Evil game, distinct from the remastering of the series in recent times. While titles like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 8: Village have represented the path towards narrative innovation, the company seeks to create an entry that not only satisfies fans but also achieves the critical recognition that has eluded the more recent installments.
It has been confirmed that Resident Evil 9 is in development and, according to internal sources, the team behind the game is taking the necessary time to ensure its success. AestheticGamer, also known as DuskGolem, has pointed out on social media that the title is ambitious and that Capcom is aware that it has not released a non-remastered main entry that achieves a critical score of over 90 points since the iconic original Resident Evil 4. This factor has led the company to strive to deliver an exceptionally high-quality product.
Additionally, there is speculation about the possibility that Capcom will present a new remake of Resident Evil before the release of the ninth installment, with several options available to revitalize classic titles. Although many fans long for the return of Leon Kennedy in the upcoming main game, this is not considered an absolute requirement for public satisfaction, although the presence of this popular character could positively influence the reception of the title.
With the intention of exceeding the expectations of players and critics, the Resident Evil community is eagerly awaiting the upcoming announcements from Capcom. With the development of Resident Evil 9 underway, all eyes are on how the company will approach this new phase in the franchise’s legacy and, above all, whether they can live up to the challenge with a new installment as much as we are sure they will with the remake, of that we have no doubt.
Many new players have started to get hooked on the Resident Evil saga thanks to its remasters; others still remember that first game on the PlayStation. Both are interested in this new twist in the Resident Evil story that could be in the works, as a recent ESRB rating suggests that Resident Evil 5, a game originally released in 2009, is on track to receive a new remastered version. This title, which moved away from the horror focus characteristic of its predecessors, focused more on action and cooperative gameplay, allowing players to control Chris […]
Many new players have started to get hooked on the Resident Evil saga thanks to its remasters; others still remember that first game on the PlayStation. Both are interested in this new twist in the Resident Evil story that could be underway, as a recent ESRB rating suggests that Resident Evil 5, a game originally released in 2009, is on track to receive a new remastered version. This title, which moved away from the horror-focused approach of its predecessors, focused more on action and cooperative gameplay, allowing players to control Chris Redfield and the rookie Sheva Alomar.
The video game saga with which many discovered what true terror was
Despite the fact that Resident Evil 5 has received multiple re-releases in the past, these have mostly been considered simple ports rather than significant remasters. Most of those versions included additional content, such as the DLC Lost in Nightmares. However, the new offering seems to emphasize improving graphics and performance on next-gen consoles, specifically mentioning the Xbox Series. It is also expected to be available for the PlayStation 5.
Fans of this iconic video game series, known for its blend of horror and action since its first release in 1996 by Capcom, are on the lookout. This remaster is expected to offer visual improvements that could attract both new players and those who enjoyed the title at its launch. Although rumors are circulating about a possible remake of Resident Evil 5, for now it seems that this will only be a new version of the original game.
With the growing popularity of cooperative games and the success of previous remasters in the series, the return of Resident Evil 5 in this updated form could be well received. We will be on the lookout for future official announcements from Capcom to learn more details about this anticipated remaster.
GOG is the only digital store that focuses on video game preservation. And their work in this regard speaks for itself. Their work with the first three Resident Evil games has made it possible to play them on PC in a way that is impossible outside the platform today. With the addition of the first two Dino Crisis games, we can say the same about Capcom’s other great franchise. But GOG can do more. And they want to do more. That’s why they have asked users for help with Dreamlist. Dreamlist is a small platform where we can do two things: vote […]
GOG is the only digital store that focuses on video game preservation. And their work in this regard speaks for itself. Their work with the first three Resident Evil games has made it possible to play them on PC in a way that is impossible outside the platform today. With the addition of the first two Dino Crisis games, we can say the same about Capcom’s other great franchise. But GOG can do more. And they want to do more. That’s why they’ve asked for help from users with Dreamlist.
Dreamlist is a small platform where we can do two things: vote on which titles we want to be rescued to play on modern PCs and explain our relationship with these games. Why? According to the words of the people at GOG, to make it easier for them to negotiate with the companies that hold the rights to these games. If they can demonstrate that there is an audience that wants to play these games, just as they remember them, it will be much easier for them to reach agreements with the companies.
That’s why they have made a small selection of games they want to bring back. They also allow us to include any PC game that has ever been released. And we are going to tell you the five games we would like to see. Because yes: there are five games in particular that we believe should be next. For very good reasons.
GOG Galaxy is a free platform for downloading digital games. However, it will also allow you to centralize all titles from other stores to have them all organized.
The Operative: No One Lives Forever
Before FPS games became very serious and very American, there was The Operative: No One Lives Forever. A James Bond parody that put us in the shoes of Cate Archer, one of the best spies in the world. With a frenetic pace, an exciting story, spectacular action, and absolutely hilarious humor, No One Lives Forever won many Game of the Year awards. It is considered the best FPS since Half-Life.
Just for that, it’s already worth bringing it back, but there’s something else: as of today, it’s impossible to play the game optimally. The console versions can be played, but they are much worse than the PC version, and the PC version doesn’t work on modern computers, which means this reissue is very necessary. Because we are missing out on one of the great FPS games in history.
American McGee’s Alice
American McGee came from working on Doom and Quake when he decided to adapt Alice in Wonderland. Even if he decided to do it his own way. American McGee’s Alice is what happens immediately after Alice Through the Looking Glass, presenting us with a terrible truth: Alice is in a psychiatric hospital and must travel to Wonderland, which has been monstrously twisted by a horrible trauma from her childhood. This leads to a spectacular platform, action, and adventure game that is still absolutely exquisite to play today.
Again, with the problem that it cannot be played. Not available on any platform and not working on modern computers, the only way to play it is through its sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, as a DLC. Which makes it a perfect candidate to be rescued.
Prince of Persia
If there is a game that needs no introduction, it is this one. We all know Prince of Persia. And yet, its original game is, to this day, practically unplayable. To get a modern computer to run the original version of the game requires real juggling that, we are sure, GOG could handle without problems, and there is a very good reason to wish for it: Prince of Persia is a key element in the history of video games.
This is where precision platforms were created. Still an extremely difficult game today, but also very satisfying, it defined everything that cinematic adventures, precision platforms, and even adventures, in general, should be. This gives it a dimension and importance that makes it unfair that it’s not much easier to simply start playing this excellent game.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run
As popular as they are, it’s surprising that The Simpsons haven’t had more video games.Especially when The Simpsons: Hit and Run is an amazing, extraordinarily fun game that captured the imagination of an entire generation by allowing us to do what we always wanted: travel all over Springfield with the yellow family causing chaos, as if it were GTA. All with the original voice acting intact for the game.
Unfortunately, playing it on a computer today requires jumping through hoops, acrobatics, and some somersaults. Playing it on consoles requires paying very unfriendly prices, in addition to finding the version of the game that has the dubbing in your language. Something that makes it much more inaccessible than it should be for one of those open worlds that anyone who has played it remembers with nothing but tremendous fondness.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X
Capcom has already worked with GOG. Moreover, they seem reluctant to make the remake. What less than to allow us to play the original game in optimal conditions, whenever we want and however we want? Because it is true that the fans of Resident Evil Code: Veronica X may not be many and that what we most desire is a remake that, well, completes the game. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it would be a perfect game to reissue.
Unique among the Resident Evil games, unknown even among fans and much more interesting both in gameplay and story than it is recognized for, its reissue on PC could be the perfect first step for Capcom to then be encouraged to make a remake. What better publicity than for people to get to know and fall in love with the game before remaking it? We can’t think of any. And the historical injustice that has been done with Resident Evil Code: Veronica X deserves it.
