Resident Evil is, quite simply, the best video game to motion picture conversion to date. Now, granted, that may not sound like much given the ineptitude of films like Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but it is a genuinely good horror film by any standards, and has its share of creepy atmosphere and flesh-munching zombies (and worse). Sure it employs a predictable soundtrack of techno and metal riffs, but it's appropriate enough here. Resident Evil is a far cry from Dog Soldiers and The Brotherhood of the Wolf, but it's got enough of the goods to make it worthwhile.
