A worthy successor

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2002)

Being a zombie film fan, resident evil sent me wondering whether or not it would be possible to combine the unique atmosphere of the 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead" with the intense action and suspence from the video game. And let me put it this way; finally someone took over where Romero left off!
The movie has been put together in a way, so that it never, at any time, seems to drag. All scenes, from the very first, to the, somewhat expectable ending, slithers on in a creepy pace, that really revives the feeling I had the first time I saw NotLD.
As for acting, Milla Jovovich does her part well, but not the biggest challenge she's ever had.
All in all, this is a new generation of zombie films, and I can't wait till "Resident Evil 2 : Nemesis" comes out!
