Video Game Adaptations

We've only gotten to Video Game Adaptations once, in Residents Evil - The New Resident Evil Movie, the Milla Jovovich Original, and Lake Placid.

Residents Evil - The New Resident Evil Movie, the Milla Jovovich Original, and Lake Placid

Matt finally watched the new Resident Evil, directed by Zach Cregger of Barbarian and Weapons, and he and Luke agree it’s one of the better video game adaptations in a long time. We also try to untangle the games’ ever-shifting lore (T-Virus, the parasite, Village) and agree it’s best to just go with it. Matt is midway through the RE4 remake, and Luke is holding off on new games ahead of GTA 6. That led to a double feature with the original 2002 Paul W.S. Anderson film.
