Resident Evil (2002)

In 2002, Paul W.S. Anderson presented the world with his movie version of "Resident Evil".

While the characters are more one dimensional than not and are barely fleshed out, the viewer is still wanting to root for franchise hero Alice, played by Mila Jovovich in all five films.

Alice wakes up naked on the floor in a shower, unable to remember who or where she is. While exploring the beautiful house that she finds herself in, she runs into a specialist military team who takes her and two other unknown persons into the Hive, a large scientific and military complex hidden beneath the house. The complex is in a lock down and the military team is there to find out why. The reason is because a dangerous virus has been released and locking down the complex and killing all within was the protocol that the AI had determined to be the best and only course of action. Now that the military team has forced their way in, they must fight their way out through a mob of endless zombies, mutated dogs, and something worse....
