Context: I know very little about Resident Evil the game, I watched this movie bc I was with my cousin who plays it. I’m not a huge fan of horror movies tho I like them as B Movies.
I thought the movie was all right. The horror elements focused on body horror, jump-scares, and apocalyptic imagery. Nothing wrong with that, tho my fave horror films (like: Nope, Videodrome, and Sinners) usually have a little something more. It had kinda the feel of a game i.e. various stages and certain sound effects, which was kinda entertaining. It was like a really well-rendered playthrough, which I was OK with. I thought the ending was pretty good: I got that it was a “this is how my night started vs this is how it’s ending” kinda vibe. Anyway it was not a classic but it was also not a B-movie.
