Profile of Resident Evil
Resident Evil can be described as scary, rough, and suspenseful. The plot revolves around an experiment gone awry, zombies, and survival. The main genres are independent, thriller, and action. In terms of style, Resident Evil is futuristic, stars a strong female character, and is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The storytelling is fast paced. Visually, Resident Evil involves special effects. It is derived from a video game. It is well suited for teens and a boys' night. Note that Resident Evil involves brief nudity, profanity, and violent content.
Summary of Resident Evil
The Umbrella Corporation's Vault, a secret facility located deep below Raccoon City, is sabotaged and a deadly virus is stolen. In the mansion that conceals another entrance to the Vault, Alice (Milla Jovovich) lies on the shower floor, naked except for the shower curtain. She can't remember anything but, as she dresses, she recalls memory fragments. Then, masked intruders burst through the windows. They tell Alice she is a Corporation agent living undercover in the mansion. She goes with them into the Vault to discover who sabotaged it. As they penetrate the Vault, trying to get to the Red Queen, the computer system at the heart of the facility, Alice and her confederates face many horrors--dead bodies suspended in water, blood-red flayed dogs, flesh-eating zombies, and "the Licker," a dynamically mutating monster.
Basing Resident Evil on the popular video game, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers a tense, exciting science-fiction/horror film. Anderson and director of photography David Johnson shot the movie in rich silver-and-black, so that its few bursts of color are striking--like the image of the blonde Milla Jovovich in a very short crimson dress, with a trailing veil, and black boots dragging a silver axe behind her.
