Resident Evil Game References Fans Can Spot in the New Movie

The latest Resident Evil film recreates the experience of playing the games through familiar items, mechanics, camera angles, characters and monsters.

The new Resident Evil movie takes a unique approach to adapting the popular video game franchise, focusing on recreating the gameplay experience rather than featuring familiar characters such as Jill, Leon, Chris, Rebecca, or Ada. The film captures the tension of playing a Resident Evil game, complete with chase sequences, resource management, and puzzle-solving.

It also incorporates subtle references to the games, allowing longtime fans to spot them and appreciate the nods to the source material. These references include familiar items like a courier bag with a green medkit design and green herbs, as well as elements from Resident Evil 4, such as the barn setting and shotgun usage. Additionally, the movie plays with video game rules by turning familiar mechanics like padlocked doors and door-opening sequences into part of the story, while also referencing the different camera perspectives used in the games.
