Far too long of a film, a near waste of time.

Rating: 3/10 (22 April 2006)

As a lover of the horror genre I usually see nearly every horror film that makes it to the big screen, as well as many that don't. I went and saw this today because I loved how desolate the town looked from the previews and it appeared as if there might be some interesting sequences in the film. I was very disappointed to find that the acting was almost identical to that in a video game, a good idea would be to take the over-dramatic acting from the original Resident Evil game and parlay that into a very long film. Don't take me for one of these lame people who complain about any film stretching two hours or more, there are plenty movies to love that are that long but this one was just BORING. the CGI effects are not very effective and the plot is shoddy and really leaves a sense of not wrapping things up very well at the end. I realize sometimes the plot is supposed to leave you hanging and wanting a sequel but this one didn't do that either. For people who appreciate a true horror film and not most of the garbage that has come out the past few years, this one is no different. Go rent JC's "the thing" or the original "dawn of the dead" for a much more complete film that truly can actually make us tense up and fear for the people on screen.
