Review of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) by Hallkel — 05 Dec 2021

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City recovers the spirit of a disturbing and over the top b-movie in which not everything is perfect, starting from a script that is not always in focus in terms of rhythm and characterization of the protagonists.

However, it is a faithful transposition of the first two games of the Capcom saga, with some interesting visual flickers and some narrative license. Overall, Johannes Roberts' film lets itself be watched despite not being the most memorable of the cinematic tie-ins nor the best of the genre zombie movies: it is exactly in the middle, with the same grammar of horror and the mythology of the beloved.
