Having played older video games, such as the classic DOOM where the odds in battles get increasingly greater, it’s difficult to call such masochism entertainment. Although, there is a certain satisfaction in finally surviving to the next level. Graphic violence in many computer games is often adjustable. However, graphic violence on film has become a special effects bonus. Grotesque, decomposing bodies march on until shot in the head or have their neck broken. Bloody bites, burning bodies and decapitations, one by laser beam, add to the gruesome toll. Along with the non-stop threats of zombie workers, zombie guard dogs and a long-tongued genetic monster, characters spout obscenities and crude comments. Brief images of a past sexual encounter indicate returning memories. While the film may attract those familiar with the popular game, the continuing desensitization to violence and vulgar language earns our strongest vote against moving in with RESIDENT EVIL.
