Don't let the reviews fool you...

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2002)

Resident Evil is exactly what it set out to be: a kick-butt action/horror flick. You won't find anyone dying of cancer, or coming to terms with their newfound lesbianism. What you will find is very tense, well directed and genuinely creepy.
Highly recommended for fans of sci-fi and/or horror.
