Trivia:
In December 2001, Sony gave fans a chance to design the film's poster with the prize being an undisclosed amount of cash, a free screening of the film and the chosen design being used on all the advertising material. Nick des Barres, a 23 year old aspiring actor and ex-video game magazine designer, won the competition. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: At the beginning of the film when the halon fire suppressant is deployed into the office room, the workers appear to be poisoned by it. In real life, halon is nontoxic in standard conditions, resulting in at worst giddiness or moderate impairment. However, according to Red Queen's readings, they would have asphyxiated as the oxygen concentration fell rapidly, but it would have been slower and without the same symptoms. more

Killer Action/Zombie Hybrid, 4 April 2002
Author: suspiria10 from The Void

This one's been in development for quite some time and I was disappointed when George Romero left the project.First off,the trailer for this movie made me sweat,because it wasn't very good.Thankfully the movie rocked.By far the best game-inspired flick to date and a heck of a good ride.All the way across the board:good acting,good f/x,awesome soundtrack and score(Marilyn Manson-who'd a thought),excellent production design and top-notch direction.All-in-all a very satisfying dark run through the bowls of the Unbrella corporation....Watch out for the Red Queen and bring on RE#2.Come Get Some(sorry Duke).ENJOY!
