4/5

I like seeing an established world and certain rules be played with in a brand new way. And I think the leaning into the horror comedy was just so incredibly refreshing for me.

Social commentary with a gleeful helping of anarchic, cartoonishly over-the-top mayhem? Yes, please — sign me up immediately.

Its mixture of horror and comedy counteracts the stakes but provides some genuinely unhinged hilarity.

I love a sincerely scary movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and pays homage to its source material.

Resident Evil was alright. It wasn’t the best movie, but it wasn’t the worst either. It had some good moments, but overall, it was just okay. I wouldn’t say it was a favorite, but it was worth a watch. 3/5 stars.
