The Keeper's Diary: A Biohazard Story

This short movie managed to capture the pure soul of the Resident Evil franchise where every film and TV show that has came out failed. The atmosphere is so thick and perfectly dark, The set design is amazing, costumes on point, and the cg is very surprisingly good for a fan film. This film tells an interesting story behind a note found in the game, what an awesome idea. There have been so many movies and TV shows about Resident Evil and they have all failed to feel like they were actually about Resident Evil and it's been painful as a huge fan of the franchise. This short film does everything I can think of so right I wish Capcom would look at this and try to find someone who will make something similarly as faithful and as purely like the games but in movie form, not adaptation. (I'm not a movie Reviewer but I felt passionate enough about this to leave a review so sorry if it's not well written)

When you get the right people on board for a film, anything is possible, and the ROE team did an amazing job. Not only did they put in easter eggs that actually fit, they told a great story, its atmosphere is on point, and they brought back two actors who played Chris Redfield in the actual games.

The feel and tone of the RE games was clear and present in this film. Nothing insults the source material and its clear the team knew exactly what the homework was and they nailed every single aspect of this.

These guys should be making the hollywood version of the games, they proved it here.

This is the stuff Hollywood wishes they could do instead of getting people who have no idea about the importance of the source material and cost the movie studios major losses.

What they did with the VERY limited budget is nothing but a miracle in itself. It is an amazing film, shot well with atmospheric tension, great effects, and impressive CGI (given their budget). Love this, awesome film. The horror of creatures and the look of dying and decayed bodies looks like something out of The Walking Dead. A surprise action scene really, really solidified the danger and threat of the monsters and abominations lurking around the laboratory. The acting from everyone was very professional and you really feel what each character is like, even with their limited screen time. Fantastic work all in all.

"The Keepers Diary: A Biohazard Story" is an outstanding testament to the dedication and passion of its writer and director. As a fan of Resident Evil since its inception in 1996, this short film means the absolute world to me. Unlike the numerous failed attempts by Hollywood and Netflix to capture the essence of the franchise, "The Keepers Diary" nails it. The creators have succeeded in delivering a true adaptation that resonates deeply with die-hard fans. Their attention to detail and respect for the source material is evident, making this film a must-watch for any Resident Evil enthusiast. Bravo to the team for their exceptional work!

Operating under a budget of only $55,277, The Keeper's Diary: A Biohazard Story hits all the marks in this Indie Resident Evil fan film short based on the popular 1996 video game. Directed by Andrew Saullo, he delivers 16 minutes of pure joy to Resident Evil fans worldwide that only Hollywood wishes it could have done with its lackluster attempts. Let Saullo show you how it's done.

Saullo lifts right from the diary you find in the game, keeping true to the game's story, which is what we RE fans have wanted all along in a film adaptation. It is so cool to see The Keeper's descriptions brought to life, and the Hunter scene made my jaw drop and then squeal with delight.

The CGI is jaw-dropping, especially for this low-budget indie short. Saullo and his Visual Effects department do outstanding work. What really makes The Keeper's Diary: A Biohazard Story a top prize is its cast. The Keeper is played by Charlie Kraslavsky, who RE fans may recognize if they played the Resident Evil Directors Cut version back in the day. Which as a fan was so amazing!
