**SPOILERS**

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2003)

Resident Evil is a great game, and so I was left with high expectations of the film. Thankfully, I was only dissapoined in a few places!

The film starts off with someone moving a virus (which we will later fondly remember as the "T virus) into a case, before breaking one, the leaving the room. Some people get into a lift. Suddenly, the computer, (a.k.a the red queen) noticed the escpaing virus, and sounds an alarm, which the workers belive to be a fire alarm. The workers all crowd at the front door, except those in a lift, only to discover that the front door is looked. In the lift, things go from bad to worse when the brakes fail and the lift plummets, stopping only a few floors from the ground. They door are forced open a bit, and the people in the life are horrified at what they see outside: The Red Queen has gased everyone to death. One woman in the lift belives she can squeaze through the gap, but she gets stuck. Whilst halfway in, halfway out, the breaks on the lift fail again, and the lift shoots down, the up. *SPLAT*
The film has some bad acting points, and some parts which are just plain silly, such as the hunter thing which chases everyone at the end looks more like Gollum from Lord of the Rings!!
The one thing about this film is when you think it's over, something new comes along. The criptic forshadowing of what's to come in the next film leaves you thinking that you want to see this film, and find out what happens, because unlike most films, the 'goodies' don't exactly win, and in a way, they fail in their mission, and you want to know, can they put it right in the next film? There are mixed comments on this film. Either you'll love it, or hate it. You'll just have to watch it to find out what you think.
