Resident Evil: Revisiting The Timeless Appeal Of Action Horror

Ah, the early 2000’s. The XBOX, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube were the hottest videogame consoles around. Limp Bizkit, Smash Mouth, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, and Usher were ruling the airwaves, and little did we know we would be blessed with tons of horror video game movie adaptations as well. Granted, some weren’t that great, looking at you: House of the Dead, Doom, and Alone in the Dark. But there also were some fun films from this genre…Silent Hill and Resident Evil. At the time, both weren’t exactly loved by critics, but they did have their fans and have each spawned sequels. Today, we’re looking at the first Resident Evil on this episode of Horror Revisited.
