The Resident Evil franchise offers an interesting take on the idea of Zombies, yes they are still mindless shambling human flesh eaters, but this somehow shifts the horror to the Umbrella Corporation. The zombies are still horrific, but they aren’t the enemy. They just get in the way of the heroes and Heroines in getting to the real bad guys! As its set in modern times you could almost imagine it was real. The special effects are great too!

This review is from: The Resident Evil Collection [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Blu Ray Extras Review.
Not a review of the movies as if you like them then I’m sure you’ll buy this set as the price is amazing. Now for the ridiculously low price of £10.99 for 4 Blu Ray films I expected no extra features.. boy was I wrong so here they are listed for anyone who wants to know:
Resident Evil: 2 Audio Commentaries 12 Featurettes Alternate Ending with Video Introduction by Director Music Video: Slipknot My Plague Previews
Resident Evil: Apocalypse 3 Audio Commentaries 9 Featurettes over 2 sections 20 Deleted Scenes 4 Trailers (for other movies)
Resident Evil: Extinction Audio Commentary 4 Featurettes 11 Deleted Scenes 4 Trailers (2 video game, 2 for other movies) Resident Evil Degeneration Trailer (Animated Movie) Under the Umbrella – Picture in Picture Experience
A special extra bonus in my opinion is Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine in 2 of the movies!!! Almost forgot to concentrate on the serious nature of the movies when she came on screen… ;o)

Great package of movies for a Saturday night; feet up on the sofa, get the beers in, order a pizza and you are sorted! Milla Jovoich is a one-woman army, killing zombies right left and centre to save humanity from the evils of the Umbrella Corporation and their virus. The four discs are packaged up in a normal size DVD case, with an outer card slip-over cover, and complete with loads of bonus features including commentaries, making of docs, featurettes, music videos etc. Yes, it’s all brain-dead stuff, but sometimes we all need to switch off for a while and chill out, and with these movies you really can’t go wrong. With a forth sequel now in cinemas, and writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson promising one final outing for Alice and co. , this is an excellent VFM way of playing catch-up with this highly successful sci-fi horror franchise.
