The Night Shift is BACK celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise! That's right, folks, for tonight's shift, Kyle & Abby not only reviewed Capcom's classical survival horror video game RESIDENT EVIL (1996)—but they also read the 1998 novelization by S.D. Perry and screened the 2002 film starring Milla Jovovich. Raccoon City: a remote mountain community suddenly besieged by a rash of grisly murders encroaching upon it from the surrounding forest. Bizarre reports start to spread, describing attacks from vicious creatures, some human...some not. After investigating, Raccoon City Police Department elite team Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are forced to flee into a mysterious mansion where they encounter zombies and mutated monsters. If any survive of them survive...they may come to envy those who didn't. So, is this game, it's novelization, or its film adaptation any good? Well, give this review a listen and find out...if you DAAAaaaare!
