Resident Evil Becomes Highest Rated Video Game Movie Of All Time
September 27, 2026 - 05:37
The latest film based on the Resident Evil franchise has claimed the top spot as the highest rated video game movie ever, according to aggregate scores from Rotten Tomatoes. The survival horror series, which began as a video game in 1996, has seen numerous film adaptations over the years, but none have received the level of critical praise that this newest entry has achieved.
Previous attempts to bring the zombie-filled world to theaters often struggled with critics, earning mixed or negative reviews. This new release appears to have broken that pattern, connecting with both longtime fans and general audiences. The film balances action, horror, and character development in a way that earlier adaptations did not manage.
The rating marks a significant shift for video game movies, a genre that has historically been dismissed by critics. With this achievement, the Resident Evil film now sits above other well known adaptations in the rankings. It remains to be seen whether this success will influence future game-to-film projects, but the bar has clearly been raised.
