One of two films in the series that lack Paul W.S.

It is also a list you will never find Resident Evil: Apocalypse anywhere near. Godfather 2, Empire Strikes Back, Aliens…that’s a list of arguably superior sequels in franchises. Here is every Resident Evil movie, ranked: But are they any good? Does Anderson’s vulgar auteurism shine through the blood and bile? Did the films learn as they went, or become increasingly insular cash-grabs aimed at diehards? All we can truly agree on is that the lasers of the first film are awesome. The series’ films-all of which were included in our ranking of every live-action videogame adaptation ever-make up the sixth highest-grossing horror franchise and the highest-grossing videogame movie franchise. So now, with Sony’s attempt to reboot Capcom’s renowned horror game franchise on the big screen with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City now out, while Netflix looks to take it to the small screen with a pair of projects-the live-action Resident Evil and the anime series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness-it’s time to assess the totality of RE’s original films.

Not just for their professional and personal lives, but for the state of videogame movies at large. The duo have (literally) brighter days ahead as they most recently took on Monster Hunter to great box office success, but their time spent on Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise was definitive. With a new mutant strain of Resident Evil content on the way, there’s no better time to revisit the unlikely series of blockbusters spearheaded by filmmaker Paul W.S.
