Resident Evil
from Geek On Film Hosted by Robbie Holmes
Send us Fan Mail Robbie's back with his full take on Zach Cregger's Resident Evil after catching it at a packed early screening in Phoenix — and letting it sit for a week. Spoiler: it stuck with him. He digs into why Austin Abrams' Bryan is the perfect lovable-loser vessel for a video game movie, the practical-effects-meets-CG trick behind the monster designs, and why sitting in a room full of primed, ready-to-go fans turned a very good movie into an electric one. Also covered: the Paul Walter Hauser cameo that got the biggest laugh in the theater, a Blank Check-worthy mumbling-and-muttering performance, and why this one made $60 million opening weekend but still isn't a unanimous win with the hardcore game crowd.
