  Resident Evil (2026) - Zach Cregger’s Life of Bryan

  Oct 1, 202659 minS1

  Zach Cregger, coming off Weapons, reboots the long-running survival horror series with this lean, gory take set during a viral outbreak in Raccoon City. The story follows medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), who is sent to deliver a package to the city’s hospital and instead has to fight his way through mutating monsters, counting bullets and making the wrong calls as he goes. Zach Cherry, Kali Reis and Paul Walter Hauser appear in supporting roles. We discuss whether this finally feels like a Resident Evil movie rather than another Alice-style action film, how well the comedy and body horror sit together, and why an ordinary, out-of-his-depth lead works better than a gung-ho hero. Guest Jon Dance joins us with a player’s perspective on how closely it sticks to the games. Rogue Reviews is produced by  Urban Podcasts . Recorded on the 25 September 2026 © Rogue Reviews

  Pressure (2026) - weather, war and one impossible call

  Sep 17, 202645 minS1

  Anthony Maras brings this tense historical drama to the screen, adapted from David Haig’s stage play. Set in the days before D-Day, the story follows RAF meteorologist Group Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as he is given the impossible task of forecasting the weather for Operation Overlord. With thousands of Allied ships waiting to cross the Channel, Stagg must convince General Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) whether conditions will hold - knowing a wrong call could cost the war. Kerry Condon, Chris Messina and Damian Lewis round out the cast. We discuss whether a wordy, play-based story about a weather forecast can still feel like a proper movie, how well Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser carry the tension, and why shining a light on the people behind D-Day rather than the beaches themselves makes this one of the more distinctive World War II films of the year.
