Evil has always had a name in the live-action short film promoting Resident Evil Requiem.
Genre favorite Maika Monroe (Longlegs, It Follows) stars in the three and a half-minute ad directed by Rich Lee (War of the Worlds 2025).
“What I loved about it was it had a lot of heart,” Monroe tells EW. “It’s really heartbreaking, the story that you’re watching unfold. I just thought it was a really interesting and a new way to portray this video game coming out.”
A new era of survival horror begins when Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, Epic Games Store, and NVIDIA GeForce.
In the ninth title in Capcom’s mainline Resident Evil series, a body has surfaced at an abandoned hotel in the Midwest, the latest in a mysterious string of deaths throughout the United States.
FBI intelligence analyst Grace Ashcroft has been assigned to the case—in the same place where her mother was murdered eight years prior. But when word gets out that a police officer has gone missing at the hotel, veteran agent Leon S. Kennedy is also dispatched to the scene.
As Grace and Leon’s paths converge, they must face their pasts and uncover the truth behind the Raccoon City Incident that changed the world forever. But while the terrors of their memories echo in their minds, will they relive the nightmare…or finally offer up a requiem for the dead?
On the film front, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot opens in theaters on September 18.
