Resident Evil [I]s a rare commodity in several ways. First, it is one of the few titles that can jump from a console to the PC and back with no loss of quality or experience. Second, it a game that can be picked up three years after its release and still have the same impact it did on day one. Finally, very few games can claim to have spawned a genre. Resident Evil can make this claim, as well as the unique claim of near perfection on the first try.

Unlike subsequent Resident Evil games, the first game had a live-action opening and endings in the style of a horror B-movie. The opening footage in Western releases was significantly re-cut to exclude much of the gore. Although Capcom had intended to include the complete and uncensored version of the intro in the later releases, only the PC, some North American and European Sega Saturn releases, and the German and French PAL PlayStation Director's Cut releases contained the original FMV.

Resident Evil: Extinction features three separate plotlines that slowly merge into one. Alice (Milla Jovovich) has struck out on her own in the intervening years after Resident Evil: Apocalypse to hide from Umbrella's tracking efforts. Meanwhile, Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen) is holed up, Day of the Dead-style, in an underground bunker attempting to domesticate the zombies. Finally, Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) leads a convoy of survivors, including Apocalypse's Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps). This is Claire's first appearance in the movie series and she is joined by new survivors Nurse Betty (Ashanti), teenager K-Mart (Spencer Locke), computer expert Mikey (Chris Egan), cowboy Chase (Linden Ashby, best known as Mortal Kombat's Johnny Cage) and a busload of children.

The sequel to Resident Evil – in which a group of scientists and special forces get trapped in a giant underground facility overrun with zombies and mutants – is pretty much what you'd expect. After being captured by the Umbrella Corporation at the end of the first film, almost-sole-survivor Milla Jovovich (the only supermodel in the world who you can take seriously as an action heroine) wakes up in an abandoned laboratory in Raccoon City to find that the zombie-animating "t-virus" has spread to the surface. Half the city are already zombified and killing the other half, and Umbrella Corporation has sealed off the city limits and is planning to "sanitise" the area. Hooking up with a rag-tag group of survivors, Jovovich makes a deal with a rogue Umbrella scientist who promises to get them out of town as long as they rescue his missing daughter who's hiding somewhere in the ruins. Meanwhile Umbrella has its own plans for the lovely Miss Milla, involving a seven-foot armour-clad mutant called the Nemesis who's using the infested city as a training ground. Much shooting/fighting/exploding ensues, and - just like in the first film - the mysterious cliffhanger ending leaves things wide open for another sequel.

After commercial success at the box office, a sequel, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, was released in 2004. In 2007, the third film Resident Evil: Extinction was released. Anderson did not direct the films due to commitments to Alien VS. Predator[38] and Death Race[39] but instead functioned as the scriptwriter and producer on both. The sequels were directed by Alexander Witt and Russell Mulcahy respectively.
