Resident Evil (15) Film Review from LondonNet
Game on… finally. Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian, revitalises the horror franchise based on the Capcom video game series with a script co-written by Shay Hatten. At the eighth time of asking, the pulse-quickening spills of the play-along Resident Evil translate sweetly to the big screen, delivering diabolical jump-out-of-seat scares alongside impeccably lit sequences of sustained tension that shred nerves and leave fingernails gnawed down to the cuticles…
Noticeably, the script abandons characters from the games and introduces a new unlikely hero caught up in the initial outbreak of a virus engineered by the shadowy Umbrella Corporation. Enter aimless 30-something Bryan (Austin Abrams), who works for Lightfoot Medical Transportation and couriers transplant organs against the clock to surgical teams around his local area. He accepts double money to complete a Category A delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital during a blinding snowstorm. Bryan slings the organ bag around his neck. “You’re not delivering a pizza,” scolds the surgeon.
On the treacherous drive to Raccoon City, Bryan isn’t paying attention to the road and he collides with a woman (Andrea Miltnerova), who miraculously survives the head-on collision. The courier awkwardly places her in the passenger seat, promising to get her treatment at the hospital. As he battles against the elements with chains on his tyres, Bryan discovers a deadly contagion has swept through Raccoon City and the snow-laden outskirts, transforming residents into hideous and deadly mutations. The courier unwittingly holds the key to salvation and Umbrella Corporation scientist Carl (Paul Walter Hauser) and gun-toting enforcer Pauline (Kali Reis) are nervously awaiting his arrival.
Resident Evil is a delicious slice of skin-crawling terror that honours the mechanics of the video games (Bryan levels up weaponry throughout the film to cope with increasingly elaborate set pieces) but isn’t handcuffed to the T-virus mythology or ill-fated survivors that have gone before. Cregger works closely with Oscar-nominated cinematographer Dariusz Wolski to mercilessly exploit the heart-in-mouth potential of a lone character venturing through dimly lit locations with just a mobile phone torch to light the way.
Immersive sound design heightens tension: the rhythmic sound of Bryan’s shoes crunching freshly laid snow as he tracks bloody-spattered footprints into a forest doesn’t require any synth-laden intervention from composers Ryan and Hays Holladay, who worked on Weapons. Abrams’ droll verbosity, gibbering to himself as mind-bending madness unfolds around him, is welcome comic relief. “I’ve only used guns in video games. They’re confusing in real life,” he quips to Carl after a clumsy interaction with a firearm almost ends in calamity. The overblown finale is anticlimactic after the sadistically teasing build-up but even with its maddening and messy resolution, this Resident Evil is easily the most thrilling instalment in the series.
