much better then expected

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2002)

I went into this expecting to see another horrid big screen take on a video game and came out totally surprised! The biggest plus in my opinion is probably the films worst enemy. People are going to go in expecting to see the Games. Instead, you get a whole new story starting before the mansion incident. This is I believe is what led to the mansion incident. And it ends where RE3 starts (Raccoon City has already been taken over by Zombies). Anyway, this was a very good movie, effects were great, the gore wasn't watered down or sissified. And the zombies stayed true to how zombies are supposed to be, slow clumsy dullards with only one single intention,... Food. And it was great to see a Zombie flick on the big screen nationwide! I'm big zombie buff so this was my heaven, love those living dead guys =)...now if only a small local indie theatre would run a living dead trilogy marathon I can die a happy man... Check out Resident Evil, don't expect the games, but a story that leads into RE1, and you won't leave disappointed
