Now a sprawling video game franchise with no shortage of film adaptations, tie-in products, and remakes, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we canโt stop revisiting the originalโs thrills, chills, andโsometimes unintentionalโspills.
Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996โs Resident Evil, the game that first defined โsurvival horrorโ and then turned it into an entire genre. While examining Resident Evilโs influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reedโs love letter to horror examines how the gameโs groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify playersโand why that terror may even be good for you.
Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the gameโs voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.
