Resident Evil is an American feature film of the action, science fiction and horror genres. It is the first installment in a series that includes five sequels. The film is based on the Japanese video game Bio Hazard, which was re-packaged in the United States by Capcom in 1996 under the title Resident Evil. The movie adaptation, which actually serves as something of a prequel to the first game, was written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. It was produced by Davis-Films, Impact Pictures and Constantin Film Produktion, and released through Screen Gems - a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The movie opened theatrically in the United States on March 15th, 2002.

Fun Facts[]
- The tagline for this film is, "A secret experiment. A deadly virus. A fatal mistake.".
- Alice is the central protagonist in all of the films in the Resident Evil series. Her last name is never revealed in the films, but in the novels, she is identified as Alice Abernathy.
- This is the first feature film work for actor Martin Crewes, who plays Chad Kaplan.
- This is the first feature film work for actor Jamie Harding, who plays Clarence the mail boy.
- Chad Kaplan is the final victim in the movie, having been pulled from the Alexi-5000 train by the Licker. Though it is safe to assume that Kaplan died at this time, it is also possible that he may have survived being thrown from the train. An early script treatment for Resident Evil: Extinction posited the notion that Kaplan would have survived his ordeal with the Licker, but would have been infected with the T-Virus and becomes a zombie who attacks the Umbrella scientists led by William Birkin. [7]
- In original drafts for the movie, Kaplan's name was going to be Isaib Tagawa Mercurio. [8]
- Although it is not made clear at the beginning of the film, Spence Parks is actually the first character to appear on screen. He is first seen wearing a bio-containment suit and handling a sample of the T-Virus in the beginning of the movie.
