So I always had a soft spot for the RESIDENT EVIL film series. Sure, it didn't really line up with the games (save for some character names and enemy types), but they were usually fun genre/action/horror films in their own right. And while some films I absolutely loathed, there were some – including the first film – that I'd argue are generally good-to-great.
So I'm actually looking forward to the upcoming 4K Blu-Ray box set from Sony! Here's the official description:
Based on the popular video game series by Capcom, the Resident Evil franchise stars Milla Jovovich as Alice, a superhuman security expert pitted against the sinister Umbrella Corporation as the world’s population is transformed into flesh-eating creatures by one of its most dangerous biological weapons.
