Synopsis
In RESIDENT EVIL, the Umbrella Corporation's Vault, a secret facility located deep below Raccoon City, is sabotaged and a deadly virus is stolen. In the mansion that conceals another entrance to the Vault, Alice (Milla Jovovich) lies on the shower floor, naked except for the shower curtain. She can't remember anything but, as she dresses, she recalls memory fragments. Then, masked intruders burst through the windows. They tell Alice she is a Corporation agent living undercover in the mansion. She goes with them into the Vault to discover who sabotaged it. As they penetrate the Vault, trying to get to the Red Queen, the computer system at the heart of the facility, Alice and her confederates face many horrors--blood-red flayed dogs, flesh-eating zombies, and "the Licker," a dynamically mutating monster.
Basing RESIDENT EVIL on the popular video game, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers a tense, exciting science-fiction/horror film. Anderson and director of photography David Johnson shot the movie in rich silver-and-black, so that its few bursts of color are striking--like the image of the blonde Milla Jovovich in a very short crimson dress, with a trailing veil, and black boots dragging a silver axe behind her.

Customer Reviews

it is ok
If you like sf this film will not be a bad thing to watch. Blu ray still does a good job for this film.

Great horror
I don't know anything about the video game the movie is based on, however I do know good horror, which is rare, and this is with the best.

Another zombie film but a very smart one. Great cast with Milla ("Gentlemen Who Fell Before the Court") Jovovich, Eric Mabius, and Michelle Rodriguez.

Takes a bite out of big Corporations. That alone is a good reason to watch. Better not mess with Mother Nature. Or else.

See "what else".

Well made, great effects and script. Definite Blu-ray worthy.

Excellent Video
This film is better than the original computer game. I recommend it highly to lovers of Resident Evil Series.
