Sony’s upcoming Resident Evil reboot from Barbarian and Weapons director Zach Cregger is officially headed to theaters and IMAX on September 18, and its runtime has now surfaced.

According to an AMC Theatres listing, the film will run 1 hour and 35 minutes (95 minutes), making it one of the shortest entries in the franchise’s history.

That concise runtime shouldn’t be mistaken for a slower ride. Cregger has already teased a relentless horror experience that barely lets up once it begins.

“It feels like one gigantic sequence,” Cregger previously told IGN. “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.”

If that approach translates to the big screen, fans can expect a brutal, adrenaline-fueled survival nightmare that captures the relentless pace of the classic games.

Every Resident Evil Movie Runtime

Sony describes the new film as “a thrilling—and terrifying—reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise,” with Cregger bringing his signature brand of tension and brutality to Capcom’s legendary survival horror series.

The film stars Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier whose ordinary night spirals into a desperate fight for survival after he’s pulled into an outbreak of unimaginable chaos.

Joining Abrams are Zach Cherry (Severance), Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country), Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird), and Johnno Wilson (Twisted Metal).

Cregger co-wrote the screenplay with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4), with the reboot aiming to deliver a fresh, game-inspired take on one of horror’s most iconic franchises.

With a lean 95-minute runtime and promises of nonstop tension, Resident Evil could be the franchise’s fastest—and most intense—trip into survival horror yet.
