Welcome to Raccoon City

Resident Evil is the most successful video game movie yet, and should be the template for game adaptations going forward

Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil movie is praised as a successful adaptation that prioritizes tone and atmosphere over direct character inclusion, setting a new template for game adaptations. While previous films, including the Milla Jovovich series and Welcome to Raccoon City, are criticized for their missteps, Cregger's original story is seen as a groundbreaking success that captures the spirit of the games.
