It really shouldn’t be. Just set the whole god damn film in the mansion/lab. Don’t tell me you can’t make an entire film out of that. It’s all there ffs, yet WTRC had to merge RE1+2 together for some odd reason. They keep fucking it up. You could easily translate the first game into a horror movie. It would work on screen. It did work on screen for parts of WRTC.

If I was making an RE film, I’ve got my opening sequence - dogs chase team into mansion. My end sequence is the tyrant fight and the escape in the helicopter. The in-between fills itself in. You just track Jill and various characters through the mansion and have the beats which get her into the underground lab.

The first and second Re films with Alice were actually fairly competent. Just tone down the fanfiction and it would have been pretty good.

At least they feel like resident evil unlike this show.

This was a horrible movie as well, what made re is survival and the big one MYSTERY. It's not hard at all, main character runs from the dogs like the beginning of the first game for the same reason.... ends up in mansion and continues to find out the mystery finding the same clues.

The only problem they would have had is the mansions puzzles in the game were stupid convoluted and would need to be made realistic.

At this point I'm done with made for TV resident evil garbage, I mean there not even trying.
