The primary difference between the Resident Evil games and the Resident Evil films is that the games are gothic while the films are brutalist. One is fixated on mansions, the other on the sleek concrete and metal corridors that lie beneath.
i hope thats not the thesis statement for your essay
Well one thing the games and movies have in common is that they are both shit lmao
Gothic vs Brutalist is easily the most concise difference. Most other attempts to explain the difference between the two are wishy-washy and are made by people who clearly never saw the later movies. The games have this fixation on returning to mansions and mansion-esque settings. Even the police station looks like a mansion for some reason. The films have never had much affinity for mansions.
If you're hoping the Zach Cregger Resident Evil movie will be gothic horror, you're gonna be sorely disappointed.
>>713313323I'm just baffled that they supposedly paid 25 million dollars for a fucking Resident Evil script. I don't think the property is popular enough for that kind of payout.
>>713313557The original films made 1.3 billion dollars collectively. There's a lot of box office potential, although past a certain point it feels super cash-grabby.
Cregger's movie is more of an indie horror thing except it costs like 50 million dollars. Primarily set in a semi-rural area outside Raccoon City.
>>713311232 (OP)The live action movies are just money laundering slop for the director and his wife.
The 3D movies are what Resident Evil should have been.
>>713315083What do you mean money laundering? They made over a billion dollars. The 3D movies are basically unwatchable. They're the worst kind of adaptation.
>>713311232 (OP)Also the movies fucking suck but the games generally don't but I guess that doesn't matter.
The live action movies were absolute Kino
>That ending scene to 3
>>713311232 (OP)The primary difference between the resident evil games and movies is that the first few games were made due to passion and wanting to tell the story. everything after the first movie was made by PSA solely so milla would keep fucking him.
>>713317657PWSA didn't make the second and third movies. he produced them, and wrote them, but he was busy with other projects. Alexander Witt and Russell Mulcahy took over directorial roles. Similar to Lucas and Star Wars.
>>713317657What was specifically passionate about making a shameless ripoff of Alone in the Dark?
