Fun and Scary!

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2003)

Yikes, this was a good one! "Resident Evil" was honestly one of the best, scariest, and fast-paced horror movies I have yet seen. *SPOILERS AHEAD* The corrupt Umbrella Corporation, a research facility, has been making obscene amounts of money working on illegal genetic and viral projects, including the horrific T-Virus, a virus which, once inserted into dead tissue, reanimates the cells of the corpse and creates the living dead. The Red Queen, the computer which controls the underground lab called "The Hive", has gone homicidal, sealed the exits and killed all the scientists down there to prevent the T-Virus from ever escaping. But, a special military team has been ordered to go down and find out what the hell happened down there. They take with them Matt, Alice, and Spense, three people they find in the mansion blocking the entrance to the hive, or in the train to the hive. Once underground, the horrendous truth about the T-Virus incident comes to light, and the living dead scientists destroy all but two- Alice and Matt, who try desperately to escape the Hive, succeed, and are caught and brought to a research lab. FANTASTIC closing scene! Alice awakes to find herself strapped to a bed, loaded up with needles and electrodes galore. She frees herself, only to find that the zombies have been released from the Hive and she is alone in the world. She grabs a rifle out of a police car, loads it quickly, and stands defiantly as if to say, "Bring 'em on." GREAT movie, loads of fabulous special effects, cool characters (Chad Kaplan, the computer genius is my personal fave!), and an awesome metal soundtrack! Give "Resident Evil" a try. It's the least corny zombie movie ever made- a damn GOOD one, in fact.
