Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

The Umbrella Corporation has become quite handy at surviving the apocalypse, so picking fights with them probably isn’t the smartest thing to do. But Alice doesn’t tend to make easy or smart decisions. And, given enough time, you’ll find that zombies aren’t even the biggest issue anymore.
2002’s Resident Evil is officially on Netflix in the wake of the newest outing hitting theaters, in the form of Resident Evil: Afterlife, which joined the service in the United States on September 1 alongside Resident Evil: Extinction and Resident Evil: Retribution, so you’ve got plenty of Umbrella Corporation activity to get through the weekend.
Zach Cregger’s (Weapons) brand-new Resident Evil reboot opened in theaters on September 18, bringing Capcom’s survival-horror franchise back to the big screen, so Netflix has become a pretty convenient place to revisit the previous movie era while the new incarnation starts from scratch. Afterlife finds Alice (Milla Jovovich) still hunting the Umbrella Corporation in a world thoroughly overrun by the T-virus. Her search for other survivors — including Landman’s Ali Larter and Prison Break’s Wentworth Miller — eventually takes her to Los Angeles and a supposedly safe haven known as Arcadia. Ha! As if anywhere is safe.
The cast also features Shawn Roberts (Edge of Darkness) as Albert Wesker, Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) as Bennett, Boris Kodjoe (Station 19) as Luther West, Spencer Locke (Insidious: The Last Key) as K-Mart, and Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Rambo: Last Blood) as Angel Ortiz.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Resident Evil: Afterlife currently sits at just 21% on Rotten Tomatoes from 107 reviews, with its audience score faring somewhat better at 48%. The consensus is fairly damning too, saying that the whole thing was unnecessary and that it was already leaning much further into action spectacle than straightforward survival horror. Audiences still turned up, though.** Afterlife earned $60.1 million domestically,** and that number has suddenly become relevant again for an interesting reason: Until this weekend, it represented the franchise’s biggest North American haul. Cregger’s new Resident Evil has just opened to $60 million and is expected to pass Afterlife almost immediately, finally threatening a record the Jovovich movie has held for 16 years.
Resident Evil: Afterlife is streaming now on Netflix in the United States.
