Story Movie

In a giant underground laboratory, a dangerous virus breaks free, instantly turning its victims into gluttonous zombies. One bite or scratch of their terrible claws is enough for a person to become a maddened devourer of living flesh.

The military sends a group of special forces to a secret complex teeming with horrible mutated animals and hungry monsters, which is joined by charming Alice and brave police officer Matt. They only have three hours to destroy the virus before it spreads across the earth.

Review 4K Movie

In the world of filmmakers bringing computer games to the screen, there are two big names: Uwe Ball and Paul W.C. Anderson. If the first - ruined more than one good franchise such as "Bloodrain", "Far Edge" and "Postal", then the second is its complete opposite. My generation grew up on the films of Paul William Scott Anderson. We shouted: “No! It's me - Sub-Zero! "," No, me! " And five years after the release of Mortal Kombat, the director took on Resident Evil.

As a child, I had neither a dandy nor a shogi - my parents could not afford it, but my mother worked very hard and sometimes flew to China for work. At some point, she brought me and my dad a real PlayStation from there. Oh, what it was - a new world opened up before us. And there weren't very many games, so the real gem was Resident Evil, and the third one. Before that, dad did not even let me watch horror films, he said that they made you dumb, but here we were so captured that we could not tear ourselves away and played until we were blue in the face. And it was really scary. Now I would be afraid to play it myself, but then it was the New World. And I awaited the release of the film with special trepidation. Still - the film adaptation of the most terrible game in the world.

The film has a very strict and clear plot, it does not copy the game, but is re-cobbled together and clarifies a lot in the history of the series of games. This is a very big plus - they gave us new characters, a new story, a new starting point, and they did it with great love and very high quality.

Later, it was from this film that I studied "making cinema." I reviewed it dozens of times - the creators built all the locations "from scratch" - there is not a single person there - I just went out and filmed, everything was first thought out, then thoughtful, then checked, then rebuilt and only then filmed. Apparently, the graphics were not enough - the monsters now look quite drawn, but even in 2002 this was enough.

This is an example of a good movie. Each built location is squeezed to the maximum. Take only the mirrored corridor (one of many references to Alice in the Looking Glass). One could have come up with a way to kill team members much easier - but then they got confused and made it very tasty. And if for the fantasy genre this is the norm, then for horror it is rather an exception. Unfortunately, as a rule, horror criteria are fast, cheap and scary.

And after all, in fact, the world of the game is the world of post-apocalypse, but it is presented to us in a confined space. You feel that the world is in danger, that the virus is killing everyone, and this atmosphere is preserved, not disturbed, although the action takes place in the claustrophobic space of an anthill bunker.
