Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

You don't have to be a gamer to appreciate writer & director Johannes Roberts' "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City," but it wouldn't hurt. Mind you, I'm not a gamer, and I thought it was one of the BEST zombie films that I have seen in a long time. The cast was great, especially Neal McDonough as the villain. Atmospheric for the start, this "Resident Evil" reboot was intriguing as well as entertaining. The larger-than-life action and the stunning cast along with Roberts' surefire helming added up to a suspenseful, often ghoulish epic. "High Tension" lenser Maxime Alexandre's widescreen cinematography and Dev Singh's nimble editing distinguish this scary saga. The film covers the hours before the Umbrella Corporation wipes out all traces of their evil antics.
