Resident Evil did not need to be called Resident Evil. As a Resident Evil property, the movie fails. Because the lack of clear Resident Evil signifiers aside, it’s not a bad zombie movie. After Tomb Raider last year, I’m pleased to see another big video game adaptation led by women. For a testosterone-fueled franchise like Resident Evil, it’s actually surprising that its first movie adaptation passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors.
