When the first movie adaptation of Capcom's Resident Evil video game hit the screen in 2002, it received mixed reviews from audiences who had never played the games, drawn to its large-scale, female-led action horror, and fans of the games who were dissatisfied with the significant deviations from the established narrative, characters, and setting. To this day, the Resident Evil film series remains one of the highest-grossing horror movie franchises. While these films were not faithful adaptations of the game universe, they set a precedent for future video game adaptations.
