Zach Cregger has a brilliant track record of directing horror films that are both horrifying and hilarious (at times). Weapons and Barbarian had moments of levity which made each respective film so much more bearable to sit through. Cregger is trying to do the same with his upcoming survival horror film, Resident Evil, the only problem was he did too good of a job at first.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter Cregger revealed that one change he made after Resident Evil was shown at test screens was to dial down the jokes. "I learned that people really liked the movie, but they thought it was too funny," Cregger explains. "So over the course of my testing, I stripped out as much of the jokes as possible."
