Resident Evil (UMD)
Posted on Apr 18, 2008 under electronic toys |
In RESIDENT EVIL the Umbrella Corporation’s Vault a secret facility located deep below Raccoon City is sabotaged and a deadly virus is stolen. In the mansion that conceals another entrance to the Vault Alice (Milla Jovovich) lies on the shower floor naked except for the shower curtain. She can’t remember anything but as she dresses she recalls memory fragments. Then masked intruders burst through the windows. They tell Alice she is a Corporation agent living undercover in the mansion. She goes with them into the Vault to discover who sabotaged it. As they penetrate the Vault trying to get to the Red Queen the computer system at the heart of the facility Alice and her confederates face many horrors blood-red flayed dogs flesh-eating zombies and the Licker a dynamically mutating monster. Basing RESIDENT EVIL on the popular video game writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers a tense exciting science-fiction/horror film. Anderson and director of photography David Johnson shot the movie in rich silver-and-black so that its few bursts of color are striking like the image of the blonde Milla Jovovich in a very short crimson dress with a trailing veil and black boots dragging a silver axe behind her.
