I wonder if the director intentionally incorporated these elements as horror symbolism, but I find this interpretation really interesting either way. 🥹
I still feel like Resident Evil leans more towards survival horror, but interpreting the little girl, the mutated farmer and his family, the maternity ward, and other specific horror elements as manifestations of Bryan’s fear of becoming a father is genuinely fascinating.

Oh my god… I’m trying to play the RE4 remake, but I just can’t survive the village section. I keep getting chased by Dr. Salvador, surrounded by villagers, and killed over and over again. At this point, I’m just unlocking all the different ways Leon can die… I’m so done🫠
Bryan knew damn well he wasn’t joking. And he knew it was a shitty thing to say, even as the words left his mouth.
But he was going to be a father. He was going to have a child of his own. How could he possibly—?
This was wrong. It had to be wrong.
“I’m kind of into you, Bryan…”
Jay didn’t look at him. He’d never been good at holding Bryan’s gaze. He bit down on his lower lip, as if the words had cost him more than he’d expected.
“Uh… you’re kidding, right, Jay?”
Strange, really, how two people—one who had lost his father, and another who was about to become one himself—had somehow, without either of them realizing it, begun to heal each other. Somewhere along the way, Bryan had started to look forward to fatherhood more than he feared it
