Resident Evil: City of the Dead is based on the events of the second video game. It loosely follows the plot of both the Leon and Claire stories. We also get a few POVs from other characters, which is a nice touch. Perry did a nice job of working with the two separate stories andContinue reading “The Great Resident Evil: City of the Dead”

Exploring Resident Evil: Caliban Cove’s Great Original Plot
Resident Evil: Caliban Cove is a very fun book from S.D. Perry. This is an original story that takes place between the first and second Resident Evil games. It is really cool that Perry was allowed to do this, and it gives a little insight into what Capcom thought of some of the characters inContinue reading “Exploring Resident Evil: Caliban Cove’s Great Original Plot”
Sweet Home: The Awesome Movie that Inspired Resident Evil
Sweet Home, also known as The Mamiya House, is a Japanese horror film. It was released in 1989, and the home video release was the subject of a lawsuit. Parts of the film were re-shot and re-edited for video and TV releases. The director, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, sued the production company over this, but lost. AContinue reading “Sweet Home: The Awesome Movie that Inspired Resident Evil”
Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game
The Resident Evil series has been taken in some odd directions in recent years. I remember being a little confused by the inclusion of other monsters, because I remember it as being a game about avoiding zombies and solving puzzles. This is what happens when you only play a few games in the series andContinue reading “Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game”
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy, a Great Book by S.D. Perry
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy is a novelization of the first video game. The book was written in 1998 by S.D. Perry. She wrote all of the books in this series, and I like the way she tells this story. Just like the other book I read from this series, several viewpoints are used toContinue reading “Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy, a Great Book by S.D. Perry”
Resident Evil Zero Hour, A Wonderful Book by S.D. Perry
Resident Evil: Zero Hour was written by S.D. Perry in 2004, and is a novelization of the video game Resident Evil 0. I’m starting with this one to get it out of the way, since it messes with the continuity of the book and video game series. Perry acknowledges this at the beginning of theContinue reading “Resident Evil Zero Hour, A Wonderful Book by S.D. Perry”
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is Good but Not Great
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City rebooted the film series. This movie is trying to be a horror movie, which is a nice change of pace from the previous series. I watched this movie when it was released, and then forgot about it. This movie tries to combine Resident Evil 1 and 2, as wellContinue reading “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is Good but Not Great”
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is a mess
Remember the whole battle that was being built up at the end of the previous film? Don’t worry about it, because it doesn’t matter. Instead, we get an origin of the T-Virus, Umbrella, and Wesker. It feels like there wasn’t a plan for these movies, or they had to change directions as actors came andContinue reading “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is a mess”
What was that mess? Resident Evil: Retribution
Resident Evil: Retribution is the fifth film in the series. This is my least favorite of the films so far. It isn’t boring. It doesn’t make much sense and has little to do with the video games, but it isn’t boring. The writer and directors crowbarred a bunch of characters from the video games intoContinue reading “What was that mess? Resident Evil: Retribution”
What did I just watch? Resident Evil: Afterlife
When we left off last time, an army of Alice clones was being grown in a desert lab. No, I’m not making that up. It was an odd moment, but it was entertaining. Where does the fourth movie go with that strange idea? Well, Resident Evil: Afterlife starts in Tokyo with a stupid girl whoContinue reading “What did I just watch? Resident Evil: Afterlife”
