Resident Evil

2002

Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson

A secret experiment. A deadly virus. A fatal mistake.

When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak.

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★½ 5

83/100
Maybe not the closest video-game film in terms of surface style, but as a narrative, Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil takes on the linearity of a singular character journey and reflects it against a well worn genre mystery. Like a techno-flavored haunted house joyride, this first installment of the Resident Evil franchise is a dazzling template for Anderson's ambitions; a classical character wandering through multiple genres while constantly inverting and expanding the series' video game sensibilities.
It is not a film that prioritizes typical fan-service pandering, instead taking a well-known name and embellishing core pleasures with a confident sheen. Anderson frames each and every character enclosed within their own environment - like levels, they rapidly change and shrink/expand depending…
Review by Tobey_1_Kenobi ★★★½ 3

Can confirm the resident were evil!!!
Review by Rachel Rhodes 1

It’s still shit. I still love it.
Review by amaya ★★★ 1

now THIS is camp
Review by Josh Lewis ★★★

"nothing ever changes"
privatization as an uncanny, aggressive, postmodern chamber thriller. love anderson's deliberate, kinetic camera moves that imply an invisible danger just around the corner, and the focus on antiseptic production design filled with mutilated, mutated or reanimated bodies being watched by an unaffected corporate presence.
full discussion on episode 55 of my podcast SLEAZOIDS.
Review by Jade talks too much🎄☃️🤶🏻 ★★★★ 35

A whole movie of Milla Jovovich being hot🔥 and killing zombies🧟. Of course, I liked it😜.
There's nothing much to it but it's so campy and fun🔫. The early 2000s vibes are perfect👌. Plus, there's a zombie dog🐕.
Michelle & Milla should’ve kissed, though.😘
Review by Filipe Furtado ★★★ 1

Half Aliens, half late career Carpenter. Such a time capsule for early 00's visual interests, yet fully Anderson's conception. It doesn't quite have the confidence to move away from plot towards pure space exploration later Anderson entries would have, but as military sci-fi going awry with zombies this remains always exciting and packing more than enough visual ideas.
Review by Branson Reese 1

Me: Never thought I'd live to see the day a nu-metal ass movie based on a video game I've never played was sort of fun and watchable
Legolas: What about side by side with a friend?
Me: What are you talking about? Shut the fuck up, elf.
