The Resident Evil Netflix show was announced a while back and I think all of us were hopeful. I mean the once survival horror game series seemed to finally be getting the mainstream attention it deserves....... Then aspects of the story started to trickle out and we started hearing rumors of things like "Wesker kids" and "Clones". Well folks it's about as bad as we thought. Won't you join my in a 30 min confirmation of all our fears?

What a joke. A mansion with zombies and creatures seems very difficult to make.

I love how Leon is looking away from the computer screen like "D'fuck is this bullshit?" 🤣 also I see alot of fans constantly say how if they just stick to the source material then the movies would be good but that alone won't make them good adaptations. The script, direction, writing and acting has always been the killer of these adaptations.

When you pitch a generic idea for a “zombie” show to your Netflix buddy but it’s so bad that they need to dress it up in the skin of another ip to pass it off to the department.

You blessed this dumpster fire with a review? This will surely be better than the actual show 😂😂😂

Maybe the 'I have a pen' line was about how a pen is mightier than the sword, which was gun in Evelyne's case? But then again that's a compliment to the writing team :D

The notion that Resident Evil having campy dialogue = it's okay to have unfunny/out of place millennial humor is the most stupid talking point to come out of this

You know what’s funny? It feels like more effort went into the marketing for this show than the show itself.

Look up the 3D advertisement with the Licker breaking out of its cell. Or the public staging scene of a zombie getting infected and breaking out into the crowd. It’s awesome stuff, sadly focused on a show that just plain sucks.

They explain the gap tooth smile, yet there’s no explanation on how Billie goes from being a Hispanic teenager to an Asian woman…

I really think that Resident Evil needs a more intimate approach to their film/show adaptations. A story in a mansion following a single protagonist for example. This whole pharmacy clone global domination reminds me of RE6 lol they’re doing too much. I really think they should start with some zombies in a mansion.

The biggest sin in Hollywood when it comes to adaptations of video games to movies, is the directors thinking they can write a better story than the one presented in the game. Also choosing to pander to a narrative instead of the fans is in a very close second.

I find Lance Reddick playing copies of himself as funny as Sylvester Stallone playing different versions of himself in Spy Kids 3

I love how Leon’s face says “look at this shit!?”

When you are at that point in life telling yourself: “Come on, there is no way this is worse than Welcome to RC” and then you watch the thing.
Undeniably the worst Resident Evil project I’ve seen to date. The first two Anderson movies are masterpieces in comparison.

This series was truly master class cinema. The scene where Lance Reddick knocks on someone's door, has Dr. Michael Morbius open up, only to have him insult Lance's character was incredible plot development. It was only surpassed by Lance's follow up line: "Looks like.... the resident evil.". The entire room stood up and had a standing ovation for the rest of the series' runtime. I never experienced something like that ever before.

The Resident Evil Umbrella Conspiracy novel could work as a great template for a movie. I literally don't understand how Hollywood hasn't figured that out yet.

I think Jared's worst night terror would be if resident evil games were based solely on this series from here on out.

When even Avalanche Reviews, the most wholesome survival horror expert out there that can find positives in absolutely anything - hates your stupid show...
There's absolutely no salvaging it

The biggest horror is realization that people actually watched this show. God bless you, you complete madlads. God bless you.

@caramiabambina 4 years ago

The last episode had me so mad that I literally screamed out loud. My best friend and I watched it together and he could not stop laughing at my pain.
