A breath of fresh air in the horror genre'

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2002)

I saw RE last night and it felt like I was watching a movie that was destined to be a new cult classic. The setting of the abandoned mansion and hive in the beginning was very spooky, with a good amount of the usual "person sneaking up behind me" startles. The movie kept a great on the edge of your seat feel through the whole thing, and all of the gamers out there are sure to love the game tie ins as I did. As far as casting Mila Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez were cast perfectly in their roles. A very enjoyable horror movie with it's only flaws being the poor CGI work on the mutating monsters, but I felt the skinless guard dogs made up for most of the bad CGI work.
