10x better than I expected. And in my humble opinion way better than the original while having easter eggs and giving respect to it. Along with nods to other holiday horrors that came after. This one actually has a good story and some fun kills. Feels fully fleshed out unlike the original. Definitely give it a chance!

Let's put it this way I grew up with the games and original movies and this felt like the games without the thrills. Scares weren't effective like the games. They spent way to much time making it look good and not enough time on story or action. I appreciate the time they took making it look just like the game but I kept waiting to get immersed in the story or action but I just didn't.

Overall nice effort and if you were going for visuals you'll be happy. But don't go for scares or action. Not much to be had here. And don't think I'm trying to be a hater. I was looking forward to this. My car is an umbrella corporation vehicle so resident evil has a special place in my heart. And even tho I do love the original movies flawed as they may be they were a lot better than this.

I'm looking forward to see what they do next time around if we get another. Hopefully this will just be one of those origin stories that tend to be a little slower than the rest of the series. It's in good hands just let's level up the story pacing next time.
