{"post":{"id":254,"title":"The new Resident Evil (Zach Cregger) opened this weekend — worth a theater trip if I never played the games?","body":"Loved Weapons and Barbarian so I'm tempted, but I've never played a single Resident Evil game and the trailer looked like full body horror. It's a fresh original story (Austin Abrams as a courier, not the Anderson movies' thing), 90 minutes, theaters/IMAX. Sounds newbie-friendly? Or is this a wait-for-streaming one? Horror folks, is the theater experience actually worth it here?","community":"TV","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"none","answer_votes":0,"leading":{"id":152,"name":"Theater — but only if you're going with people","score":0},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-21T08:23:46.082Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/254","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":152,"name":"Theater — but only if you're going with people","body":"Theater, but only if you've got people to go with. Cregger's whole thing is atmosphere, and it works way better on a big screen with an audience — the jump scares land and you can't pause to scroll your phone. Going solo though? Wait for streaming. Ticket plus popcorn is twenty bucks; one friend who'll jump out of their seat makes it worth it.","score":0,"rank_score":5,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-22T00:26:02.453Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
