Sep 16, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: variety.com
  • The review describes Cregger’s reboot as slower and more naturalistic than typical video-game films.

  • After a delivery, medical courier Bryan receives another, more important Schedule A package for a hospital in the mountains.

  • On a snowy road, Bryan hits a zombie woman, saves her, and then encounters increasingly unusual creatures.

  • At the Umbrella laboratory, scientists plan to use the package for an antidote, but the expected rescue effort does not succeed.
    • It's her body and her choice.
    — Bryan, the film's protagonist, says this to his pregnant girlfriend in a scene about autonomy and abortion rights.
