The Horror Genre's Unlikely Renaissance Man The latest box office numbers indicate that the horror genre has received a much needed boost with Zach Cregger's reboot of Resident Evil, which took in a staggering $60 million in its opening weekend.
This surpasses expectations and sets a new high water mark for the franchise.
Cregger's success can be attributed to his willingness to blend horror with humor, creating a unique tone that distinguishes his film from more serious entries in the genre.
