Resident Evil Soundtrack Overview
As of this writing, no official soundtrack album has been announced for Resident Evil. Film Music Reporter’s own upcoming-albums tracker, which lists film scores through November 2026, does not include this title yet.
The composer assignment itself is confirmed: Film Music Reporter announced on September 1, 2026 that Hays Holladay and Ryan Holladay are scoring the film, reteaming with Cregger after his previous two features.
Resident Evil is also notable as the first film in the franchise to join the “Filmed for IMAX” program, shot on IMAX-certified digital cameras. About 33 minutes of the runtime is presented in IMAX’s expanded 1.90:1 aspect ratio, paired with a dedicated IMAX sound mix.
Who Composed the Resident Evil Soundtrack?
Hays Holladay and Ryan Holladay are a Los Angeles-based sibling composing duo known for work spanning film, sound installations, and interactive media. They grew up together outside Washington, D.C., and later played in a band called Sirhan Sirhan with Cregger himself.
Their full film-scoring credits include the HBO documentary Class Action Park (2020), Cregger’s Weapons (2025, co-scored with the director), and the Netflix comedy Roommates (2026). They also contributed additional cues to Cregger’s Barbarian (2022), whose main score was composed by Anna Drubich.
Beyond film, the brothers have built sound installations for Dolby, Bose, and the U.S. Embassy in London, and Ryan has separately scored the video game Abelina.
Resident Evil Official Tracklist
No tracklist exists yet. Since the composers’ new cues have not been released in any form, individual track titles cannot be confirmed at this time.
Listeners curious about the Holladays’ sound can reference their prior score for Weapons, released through WaterTower Music on August 1, 2025, with 36 tracks running about 51 minutes. Whether Resident Evil will use the same label has not been confirmed.
This section will be updated once a tracklist is officially released.
Score Highlights
Individual cue titles and descriptions cannot be verified yet, since no music from the film has been released. This section will be filled in with named tracks once the score becomes available.
Resident Evil Licensed Songs / Needle Drops
No licensed songs have been officially confirmed for Resident Evil at this time. A fan-curated Spotify playlist claiming to feature the film’s soundtrack is circulating, but it is not tied to the studio or any verified music-industry source, so it has been excluded here rather than treated as confirmed.
This section will be updated if the studio or trade press confirms any in-film needle drops.
