## Summary

The first two Milla Jovovich-led Resident Evil films have begun streaming on Netflix in the United States, giving viewers a chance to revisit the start of Alice’s fight against the Umbrella Corporation. The films show the crisis escalating from a disaster inside an underground research facility to a city-wide infection, making them an introduction to the franchise’s early mix of horror and action.

The 2002 Resident Evil, written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, follows Alice as she wakes with no memory in a mansion and is taken to Umbrella’s Hive, where the T-virus has infected its staff. Resident Evil: Apocalypse, directed by Alexander Witt from Anderson’s screenplay, moves the action to Raccoon City and adds game characters Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira, as well as the creature Nemesis. Both films arrived on Netflix on 1 November.
