Resident Evil
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson
The Umbrella Corporation är ett av världens största företag inom bioteknik och läkemedel. Men det är långt under jordens yta, i det topphemliga laboratoriet The Hive, som företaget utvecklar sin riktigt lönsamma del: genforskning och biologiska vapen. När ett experiment plötsligt går katastrofalt snett sprids ett smittosamt och dödligt virus ut i laboratoriet. För att förhindra viruset från att spridas vidare över hela jorden får en kommandostyrka uppdraget att gå in och isolera det. Men de har bara tre timmar på sig och upptäcker snart att viruset förvandlat alla som blev instängda i The Hive till levande döda. Plötsligt blir det inte bara en kamp mot klockan utan också mot blodtörstiga zombies och galna muterade dobermannhundar - som gör allt för att döda dem...

Resident Evil Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin James25 oktober 2025It is a great movie, but it definitely needed Paul Blart to save the day.
- Niztradamus26 mars 2026I didn't remember Milla Jovovich being such a babe from whe this movie came out but I remember hating it as a fan of the games. 24 years later and I still wish they didn't come up with non canon lore but I have to say, the movie on it's own is actually pretty dope. Yes, the CGI aged like fine milk in the Somali desert but the action is fun, Umbrella does what Umbrella does and Alice would have been a fine fit for the games as well. Especially the AI is pretty darn close to what we are creating right now.
- makdelart24 mars 2026I’m not familiar with the video game on which the film is based, so I didn’t watch it through the lens of a gamer’s nostalgia. The film is very average, the computer-generated effects are poor, and the whole thing wouldn’t be worth watching were it not for Milla Jovovich. To be honest, I expected as much, and I intend to watch the whole series just for her (though I’m not sure if I’ll manage it).
- RipLinesMan8 april 2025Resident Evil isn’t Event Horizon (1997), but it shares the same DNA—corporate hubris, corridors that breathe wrong, and science cracking open a door it was never meant to touch. Where Event Horizon gave us hell in orbit, Resident Evil buries it in a lab and lets it crawl out with teeth.
- Драгомир Сотиров10 maj 2025best movie of all time
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ12 februari 2026As a big fan of splatter and horror films i was gladly surprised when i watched this. I haven't played the game so i had no idea what to expect and had nothing to compare with. I really feel that this pays homage to the old zombie films at least to an extent. The zombies here are a little bit faster though.
- Hakihiko30 september 2025Entertaining, but Not Quite Infectious "Resident Evil" is a film that captures some of the creepy atmosphere and adrenaline-fueled action you'd expect from a video game adaptation, but it doesn't always live up to its potential. On the positive side, it nails the dark, claustrophobic tone of a survival-horror setting, with its underground labs, eerie hallways, and a sense of constant threat. The soundtrack adds energy and keeps the tension high, while the action scenes - though a bit over-the-top at times - are fun and give the movie a strong pulse. The casting works fairly well, with Milla Jovovich carrying the movie and giving it a strong central presence. The visuals, for the early 2000s, are quite stylish, blending industrial grit with sci-fi aesthetics that feel in tune with the franchise. Where "Resident Evil" falters is in its storytelling. The plot is thin and leans on clichés, with dialogue that can feel clunky and characters who don't get much development. It's entertaining, but more on a surface level - once the action slows, the weaknesses show. Overall, "Resident Evil" is a decent watch if you're in the mood for some dark action-horror, but it lands closer to a 6.5 than a solid 7. It has style and moments of fun, yet it leaves you wishing it had gone deeper with its characters and story.
- tyler chapman1 juli 2025Utter trash
- Jake27 augusti 2025Milla Jovovich & Michelle Rodriguez nuff said! Well also the zombies are cool and the plots fun. As a lover of the series since N64, don't let gamerZ opinions on source material/plot steer you away from a fun, not so spooky but thrilling adaptation. Not everyone is Leon Kennedy and that's OK!
- tellum19 augusti 2025Easily the best of the franchise, there is a lot of cheesiness but it is balanced with scenes of great spooky atmosphere and tension building. The rest of the movies abandon those concepts in favor of more silliness and try hard action, but this is a genuinely good horror movie.
- Lewis Gallagher18 augusti 2025A pretty decent video game adaptation and solid horror.
- Van Aerschot David20 april 2025Not to bad, just seen it a bit to much. Still a good solid story.
- DigitalDisappointment3 mars 2025Absolutely terrible series of movies. They bear no resemblance to the game nor do they do a good job of being a movie in their own right. It's like the most half-assed effort all around.
- inaneswine27 januari 2025For die-hard fans of the original 'Resident Evil' video game series, this film may come as a disappointment, as the general horror and darkness that made the games so unnerving has been ditched here, in lieu of an intense action-thriller. Nonetheless, in its own right, this film is highly entertaining. Milla Jovovich puts in a superb performance as Alice, who is lead into an underground base of a multi-national corporation to do battle with a series of ghoulies and monsters, including a horde of the undead. With terrific co-star Michelle Rodriguez, there is never a dull moment, moving at a furious pace with just the right mix of dry humour, mystery that surrounds the "Umbrella Corporation" and its motives, and impressive action sequences featuring an agile Jovovich performing some remarkable stunts.
