For Spoopy season 2020 (although this year has already been pretty spoopy, right?), Squidge and I wanted to talk about the absolute horror that is the 2002 Paul W.S. Anderson movie: Resident Evil. A film that missed the point so much, that the point may as well be on the head of a pin.

This movie has it all:
- Milla Jovlovololboppopovich showing two facial expressions
- Michelle Rodriguez being the most Michelle Rodriguez she has ever been

- Relatively good (for the time) CGI
- A few practical special effects
- Way too many Deus ex machina's to be taken seriously
- A text-based intro crawl
- Zombies
Being the big fans of Resident Evil that we are, we've wanted to talk about this movie for a long time. And Spoop-tober 2020 seems right. So here it is.
