zombies, you cant beat a film with loads of zombies!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2002)

As a fan of the games I was really looking forward to this film, and now I've seen it and I'm not disappointed at all, this film rocks!!. Set at the beginning of it all in Racoon city, you are eased into the shady world of the umbrella corporation's illegal research into viral weaponry, and we all see the horrific results of this folly. Ok, it has to be said that horror films are by definition, clichéd and generally formulaic, this is no exception BUT, it has been made true to the games, In so much as none of the games ever compromised there 18 certificate, and never held back on the splatter and gore and the film is no exception.
Set in a secret underground research facility, the film starts with an act of sabotage. The story really starts moving with the arrival of a crack team from the umbrella corp, who's task is to get in and find out why the facilities main computer has gone homicidal and killed everyone inside. Let the fun begin.....
This is a tense, atmospheric horror with plenty of twists and turns, some great effects, plenty of mincing zombies, dark corridors and surprises around every corner.
Fans of the game will not be disappointed, horror fans won't be disappointed, and all film fans should see this top film. Oh yes and with a soundtrack featuring Marilyn Manson, you know you're on a winner. Ignore the usual crap and SEE THIS FILM, you wont regret it!!.
