resident evil

as far as b-movies go, this one is a fun little gem. its basically an old
fashioned haunted house movie. instead of ghosts though, it has zombies! having never played any of the video games this movie is based on, i had no idea what to expect, and no expectations about what it should be. the story starts with alice waking up and not remembering much about herself. as she explores through this mansion she finds herself in, she is taken and brought to an underground facility owned by the umbrella corporation. there was a biological outbreak and everyone died. she is somehow connected and is enlisted to help destroy the rogue a.i. that is running the place. as they try and stop everything, it leads to some cool zombie encounters and a memorable scene in a killer hallway. i thought it was a fun movie, it dealt with the story well, and also leaves enough mysteries and confusion for the inevitable sequel.
