Resident Evil- Welcome To: Raccoon City

Then, in 2021, director Johannes Roberts threw us back into the grime, the rain, and the genuine terror of Spencer Mansion with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City . Love it or hate it, this film is the most faithful—and arguably the most misunderstood—adaptation of the first two games to date.

This structure is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it gives the audience exactly what they want: the mansion puzzles and the city chaos in one sitting. On the other hand, it creates a disjointed narrative that often feels like two different movies stitched together. However, the atmosphere in both segments is undeniably "Resident Evil."

Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corp, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. Beneath the surface, something terrifying has been brewing. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the dark truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.
