Overview +
Bryan, a medical courier, has finished for the night when he takes one last delivery for double pay and drives a package to Raccoon City through heavy snow. The city he reaches is in the grip of an unexplained infection, and he has to survive a single night as it falls apart around him. The film draws on Capcom's horror game series but does not retell the games, following a newly written character instead. Zach Cregger, who made Barbarian and Weapons, directs and co-wrote the script with Shay Hatten. Austin Abrams plays Bryan, with Paul Walter Hauser, Kali Reis and Zach Cherry alongside him. Most of the shoot took place in Prague between October 2025 and January 2026, and the snowbound streets of Raccoon City, an American city in the story, are Prague streets in disguise. Over its opening weekend in North America, 18 to 20 September, it took about 60.2 million dollars to finish first; it had opened in Korea a day earlier, on 17 September.
Of the four locations, the one you can buy a ticket for and go inside is the old wastewater treatment plant in Bubeneč, and individual visitors can only get in on weekend guided tours. Plan your Prague days around a Saturday or Sunday; the streets in Holešovice and Karlín can be walked any day of the week. The railway tunnel is in Litoměřice, a small town in North Bohemia, so it needs a separate trip out of Prague.
Filming Locations
Přístavní, Holešovice, Praha 7, Czechia
On Přístavní Street in Holešovice, Bryan tries to get through a zombie-filled block just as infected residents start throwing themselves off the surrounding rooftops. In November 2025 the crew closed the stretch between Komunardů and Osadní and laid down artificial snow made of paper. Wrecked cars with Colorado plates and fake American shopfronts turned it into Raccoon City, and that look made it onto an official poster. It is back to being an everyday street with traffic, so walk it along the pavement.

Jirsíkova, Karlín, Praha 8, Czechia
Karlín is where the snowy streets of Raccoon City fill with gunfire, explosions and a car chase. Filming ran every night from 29 October to 2 November 2025, and for those days Jirsíkova and Malého streets beside the Negrelli Viaduct lay under fake snow, closed to traffic. The trailer shows zombies attacking beneath the viaduct. The viaduct opened in 1850 as Prague's first railway bridge across the Vltava. The neighbourhood is a mix of homes and offices, so a walk through the streets is the right way to see it.

Stará čistírna odpadních vod, Papírenská 6, Praha 6 Bubeneč, Czechia
The sewer scenes were shot at the old wastewater treatment plant in Bubeneč. Robert Mehrle, the supervising location manager, said its vaulted halls and tunnels of bare red brick suited the film, and the production used the existing sewers as part of the story. The plant dates from 1906 and sits on UNESCO's tentative list for World Heritage status. Individual visitors can only get in on the weekend guided tours, and every tour walks through the original sewer, long out of use.

Litoměřický tunel, Mezibraní, Litoměřice, Czechia
This is where the cameras first rolled in the Czech Republic. Litoměřice Town Hall confirmed that filming took place in the old railway tunnel on 10 October 2025, and Stillking Films, which ran the local production, told the town the tunnel was the right setting for one of the film's darkest scenes. The 19th-century tunnel runs beneath the medieval town walls in the Mezibraní area, close to the lower railway station. It is usually rented out for events and shoots, so it is better seen from outside on a walk along the walls.
