Resident Evil – Popped!

Release date: October 9, 2026 (USA)

MPAA rating: R

Running time: 1h 34m

Finding myself with the critics on this one – My wife enjoyed it, which maybe balances my 6.5/10 Fine Rating :S

Other Mommy does it’s job of being a horror movie. There were plenty of scenes I felt tension and unease. For me personally, this felt like two different edited cuts thrown together and called a day. When the movie felt more grounded in supernatural I was enjoying the scares. Once experimental supernatural became a thing I was rather put off and over this very short horror film. To short to be feeling like there was bloatware added on to pad the clock.

Just leading up to the title screen had me feeling like I just watched the trailer. The jawing edits, entering the rollercoaster half way down the buildup left me wanting more substance. Some better ground work would have been appreciated. I get the story tells it by the end but other than the scares. I really didn’t care to learn by the time reveals occured.

If Resident Evil didn’t just recently release I’d of liked some demon designs but it felt like a copy cat rip off. Honestly the movie felt like Backrooms / Resident Evil with a sprinkle of Paranormal Activity. I enjoyed aspects but I was totally over the movie by the ending scenes wrapped up. Critics hit it with a 20% RT Score. My wife enjoyed it for reasons I can’t discuss without spoiling.

So with that in mind. What are your thoughts on Other Mommy? Watched it and loved/hated it ? On the fence or waiting to check it out. Let me know in the comments below.

Welcome to Racoon City, where padlocks are the real enemy!

Zach Cregger has done something truly amazing with Resident Evil. He didn’t just make a horror movie within the franchise. Cregger recreated that feeling of the video games through the medium of movies. Peering around corners was the greatest moment of this. Having to go upstairs, unknown to what’s up there. The worst part of Resident Evil games is continuing forward (For me (I’m terrified) :P). Here we get to see what’s next through our main character, which I absolutely loved!

The pacing and world-building were such a joy to behold. Starting your quest in a regular hospital to drop off a package at Raccoon General was a genius way to introduce Resident Evil newcomers to Raccoon City while still packing fun surprises for fans!

Fans of Weapons are going to love this movie. It pulls on all the suspense and horror, creating truly hold-your-breath moments while having comedy moments executed perfectly to ease tension or set up mechanics later on. The amount of setup for jokes, mechanics, or throwbacks was handled so well that I looked forward to watching this movie again for sure!

My wife was jumping so much and called this title her favorite Resident Evil movie yet!

I loved the first title in the original movie series, but honestly I would have to agree that this new edition to the movie franchise may possibly the best yet with plenty of avenues to explore if this becomes a multi part series.

There are so many cool designs, monsters, surprises, and creative story elements that the hour and 40-minute run time went by in a blink of an eye. Get yourself to your local movie theatre this weekend to watch this on the big screen. Popped score well deserved of a 9/10 :D. Going into my top 10 thus far for 2026.

Thank you all for coming by Popped for your movie “Reviews”. Watched or thinking of watching Resident Evil this weekend? Let us know in the comments below. With this feature in my top 10, we are at the point where movies get bumped off going forward. I’ll review my top 10 and start placing them in some order, ready for the final 3 months of 2026!

Until next time, fellow movie-goers, happy movie-going!
