Resident Evil Requiem: Grace Faces the Terror!

Welcome to Horror Town!

Big news, horror fans! The talented Angela Sant’Albano, who totally nails the character of Grace in the much-anticipated Resident Evil Requiem, is a rookie in the scary world of horror. But don’t let her inexperience fool you! She’s diving into the deep end, and it’s a wild ride trying to capture that classic Resident Evil atmosphere.

Creepy Studios and the Art of Horror

So how does a newcomer get the feel of a game that’s all about zombies, frights, and survival? Well, Angela stacked up some serious hours watching gameplay, absorbing everything from the nerve-wracking tension to those jump-scare moments that make you scream into your pillow. “Capcom really wanted to dive back into the horror roots of Resident Evil,” she explained. Little did she know, this wasn’t just a screen fest; it became a game-changer.

While putting on those silly motion capture suits (yes, the ones that make you look like an extra from a sci-fi flick), she and her crew dimmed the lights to set the mood. “We would turn off all the lights in the studio, using only flashlights and camera lights!” Sant’Albano recalls. Let’s face it, that’s commitment! It’s almost like they were prepping for a horror film shoot themselves—minus the real-life zombies chasing them around, thankfully!

After binge-watching, she couldn’t resist picking up the controller herself. Angela got totally hooked on the fan-favorite Resident Evil 4. “I looked up and thought, ‘Whoa, I’ve been at this for three and a half hours—where did time go?’” she laughed. Terrifying? Yes! Amazing distraction? Double yes! Between the horror and the focus, time flies when you’re dodging monsters and attempting to survive. But let’s be real; it’s also a sneaky time-suck that you don’t mind falling into.
