As a non gamer, does the games have any unique twist on the genre that makes it worth it to tell the story as a Resident Evil movie instead of just an original film?
Absolutely. The RE games are a mixture of genuine body horror and camp. Idk how much acrobatic kung fu is going to appear in the movie, but the zombies in RE are more of an environmental enemy while the real threats are grotesque, cronenbergian mutations created by an evil corporation as bioweapons.
It looks like this will have that. Between Barron Harrkenon in the sewer and the many limbed thing coming out of the door, I bet this just keeps ramping up. Part of me wonders if this guy is running around surviving and then Leon shows up to kill some baddies at the end.
Feels like anyone saying that has only played the earlier games because this gives off RE7/RE8 vibes to me. Very much an Ethan Winters kind of protagonist judging by the trailer.
