How Zach Cregger Pulled Off Resident Evil’s Most Disgusting Scenes

Making the horror movie involved 50 gallons of fake blood and a lot of cleanup.

The short version

• A behind the scenes look at Zach Cregger’s disgusting trip to Raccoon City I have never smelled anything like the set of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil .
• When I visited the massive Prague sound stage in December, the air was filled with the latex scents of enormous, grisly props combined with the sharp odor of burning metal as welders built the world of Raccoon City.
• A sweet aroma rose up from the fake blood that was laid on the floor so thick it stuck to the bottom of my boots.

What happened

Last year, Polygon was part of a press trip that provided a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Resident Evil . I followed in the footsteps of hapless medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), exploring the horrors the t-virus wrought across a series of sets.

Why it matters

Now that the movie has finally arrived, I can reveal everything I learned about its creation, with a focus on three of the film’s scariest scenes.
