  • Done the game proud

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    When I heard that my favourite PSX game was going to be made into a film, I cringed. This could go horribly wrong. Fortunately, I needn't have worried as I booked my cinema tickets.

    The film based around the T-virus producing Umbrella Corporation sees the mainframe computer the Red Queen shut down to contain un outbreak of the T-virus. They think she's gone mad and killed everyone. They send in a security team to shut her down. They succeed, although they hadn't realised that shutting her down would open all the doors (common sense obviously not their strong point) and then the fun begins.

    Rock solid performances from all the cast (especially Milla Jovovich) with good special effects did not disappoint and did the game justice. The security laser scene being particularly memorable.

    Just one bite, one scratch from these creatures is sufficient. And then, you become one of them.

  • Zombies - rated 15

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 24 Mar 2012
    A toxin is released in an underground facility, turning everyone into flesh-eating walking undead, while a crack team of commandoes and other survivors do their best to get out alive. This is the PG-13 version of one of George A. Romero's zombie films, with a bit of blood (but not nearly enough), and a particularly unmenacing group of zombies. Some of director Anderson's staging is clumsy and obvious but Milla Jovovich proves to be a good trick up his sleeve, becoming gradually more kick-a** as the film progresses.
