Let me start by saying this 4K remaster of *Resident Evil* (2002) is like revisiting an old friend—one who still knows how to make you jump out of your seat. The Hive’s eerie corridors and that iconic laser grid scene? Crisper than ever. The upgrade isn’t mind-blowing (this wasn’t shot with IMAX cameras, folks), but the darker scenes benefit most, with less noise and better shadow detail. Grain purists will appreciate the filmic texture, though casual viewers might wonder why it doesn’t look "new."

Now, the movie itself? Pure B-movie gold. Milla Jovovich’s Alice remains a standout—kicking zombie butt in a tank top while the plot throws logic out the window (in the best way). The pacing holds up surprisingly well; even knowing every jump scare, I still white-knuckled my couch during the zombie dog attack. That said, don’t expect *The Last of Us*-level storytelling. This is schlocky fun with a side of sci-fi nonsense—and proud of it.

The extras? A mixed bag. The Slipknot music video feels random (RIP to my eardrums), and the commentary track is chaotic—imagine four people arguing over game lore while Milla giggles about her costume. But hey, the German release includes solid subtitles and arrived shockingly fast for me too.

Who’s this for? Fans craving nostalgia or newcomers who love cheesy action-horror. At under $20, it’s a no-brainer for collectors—just temper those 4K expectations. And yes, Michelle Rodriguez still owns every scene she’s in.
