Resident Bromance | Resident Evil (2002) Movie Review

What happens when a secret underground laboratory run by an obviously evil corporation accidentally unleashes a deadly virus… and its emergency response plan is to lock everyone inside and murder them with a creepy little British girl? You get Resident Evil (2002). In this episode of The Reel Bromance Podcast, Andrew and Matt head into The Hive to revisit the movie that launched Milla Jovovich’s six-film zombie-kicking career and somehow convinced an entire generation that the most dangerous thing in a zombie apocalypse might actually be a hallway. We break down the T-virus outbreak, the Red Queen’s extremely aggressive approach to workplace safety, Michelle Rodriguez doing Michelle Rodriguez things, zombie dogs that desperately need a trip to the groomer, early-2000s CGI, amnesia as a plot device, and of course…the laser hallway scene that permanently traumatized anyone who saw this movie in 2002. We also get into the big question: Is Resident Evil actually a good adaptation of the games… or did Paul W.S. Anderson just take the Umbrella Corporation, throw everything else into a blender, and somehow make it work anyway? And after surviving The Hive, there’s only one thing left to do: Put it on the Bro-ometer. Is Resident Evil (2002) an infected classic… or should this thing have stayed locked underground? 👇 Join the conversation What’s your favorite moment from Resident Evil? Does the movie still hold up?
