Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
2021 · 107 min · Action / Horror / Science Fiction · TMDB 5.9
The short version:A sci-fi zombie horror that builds some dread through grotesque transformations and creature attacks but struggles with weak plotting and an overcrowded cast. Watch for child experimentation themes, body-horror mutations, creature violence, and a bleak destroyed city; the disturbing impact is muted by poor execution.
