1) Resident Evil, Directed by Paul Anderson.
Act 1: A women named Alice, wakes up in a mansion with total amnesia. No sooner than she wakes up, the the house is stormed by troopers who force her down a secret elevator into a facility known as The Hive, which is owned by the Umbrella Corp., along with another one of her Co-workers, named Matt, that she remembers, and who also has amnesia. The Troopers' job is to disable the facility and report back what happened to HQ. They reach the mother computer and turn it back on.
Act 2: The group comes across a survivor but she attacks them… After firing several rounds the "survivor" is not dead and more start pouring into the room. They group attempts to escape the zombies and make it back to the surface. Along the way Alice and Matt begin remembering what happened at the facility. It is also revealed that the zombies were created by a virus known as the T-Virus, which was somehow released into the vents of the facility before lock down.
Act 3: Matt remembers that he is the one who tried to steal the virus and also who released it in the facility. After remembering that, Matt abandons the group heading for the train, which is the only way out. However he is ambushed by a mutated creatures and is killed. Meanwhile Alice struggles with the remaining survivors to escape the facility. After a narrow escape of the facility, Alice is then captured by more Umbrella officials. She then wakes up on an operating table with no one around. As she wakes out of the building a newspaper flies by with the headlines "The Dead Walk", she then grabs a shotgun and the movie ends.
2) Alice, until she remembers whats going on, is sort of a damsel in distress… It is up to the marines to do all the fighting. Matt, is self-centered and greedy. He cares nothing for the other group members and only looks out for himself.
3) The main thing that is scary about this film is the feeling of hopelessness… Such as numerous occasions when the team is surrounding by the hungry walking dead.
4) It seemed to me that the Zombies always knew where the team was… For example the teams goes through the sewers to avoid the zombies crawling in the hallways… But what'a ya know… As soon as they are in a one way hallway… zombies start pouring in from all directions. If I were directing this… I would have changed that.
