A Virus Sandwichįor 23 years, Resident Evil has haunted audiences with the classic premise of a zombie outbreak that turns humans into undead creatures who feed on the flesh of other humans. And no video game series feeds on that fear better than Resident Evil. There’s absolutely nothing scarier than a plausible monster using plausible means to kill people.
I’m particularly partial to George Romero’s ominous explanation that “when there’s no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth,” but it’s the science-based zombies that genuinely give me the creeps. And there’s seemingly no end to the sources of the living dead in media - we’ve had toxic waste, necromancers, evil skin-grafts (thanks Cronenberg), invisible zombie-creating portals, and even sound and radio waves. It doesn’t matter where they come from, decaying humans that mindlessly cannibalize flesh will always be just plain upsetting.
