Underrated Re-Boot
10 December 2021
I am a horror fan of 40 years and loved and playing the RE games since 1996 when the original came out. This is a very creepy and closer to the game than the Anderson films. The editing, camera work and vibes are reminiscent of John Carpenter films. I love the slower pacing in this. Some of the dialog is weak {many great moments that could have had way better lines} but the sets and lighting are creepy, some look exactly like the game such as the RPD building. Characters such a Loan Kennedy, Ada Wong and the Birken family do not show up until the 2nd game. Lisa Trevor shows up in the 4th game. Drug companies are definitely scarier than ever and the greed in real life is so very real. In my opinion, this is a sleeper creeper. Perhaps it will pick up a bigger fan base as times goes on. I look forward to a sequel to this re-booted series. The Anderson/Mila films are decent and fun to watch but this is way closer to the first game 100%. I will buy the 4K when it hits-
