Saw RESIDENT EVIL and, beyond the various small references, I thought it really captured the feeling and narrative flow of an RE game. Really enjoyed it. The tone reminds of EVIL DEAD 2, but not quite as silly. It's violent, bloody, and tense while still being light-hearted and funny in places.

Me and my partner watched it last night, I have not personally played a Resident Evil and I'm not really a horror movie person, but I really enjoyed it! Thought it was quite funny and gore eventually got cartoony enough for me to be OK with it LOL

How do you think it would land with someone who isn't a massive fan of the games? My partner is a huge RE buff but they never much appealed to me, so I'd probably only want to watch it with him.

The references are **super** minimal beyond the film taking place in Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corp existing, mostly a few visual refs for items and whatnot. It's an entirely separate continuity and canon, so jump in with both feet!

I saw it weeks back and I've been fiending to rewatch since, the wait for a digital release is killing me especially since I want to see some fun music edits over various scenes. GIF unrelated.
