Plot
Set in 1998, this origin story explores the secrets of the mysterious Spencer Mansion and the ill-fated Raccoon City.
What I Think
This story starts in 1988 with the story of Claire and Chris Redfield as they are sleeping in a bunk bed in the Raccoon City Orphanage. Chris is sleeping with Claire to help her with her nightmares. As they sleep a demure dark figure can be seen in the shadows watching them. Claire wakes up and follows the figure through the corridors. She ends up in the games room which is completely dark except for a small light in a tent. Inside is the figure which can only be seen as an outline. Claire talks to it and the being answers.
For the scares and nostalgia, I can honestly say this one is much better than the 2002 version of Resident Evil.
I am giving this film 4 out of 5 stars.
