Resident Evil is a 2002 science fiction horror film extremely loosely based on the Resident Evil series of survival horror games developed by Capcom, and the first in a series of film adaptations. It was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, and was released in the United States on March 15, 2002, and in Japan on August 31, 2002. The film was followed by two sequels: Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction. Apocalypse was released on September 10, 2004, and Extinction was released in theaters on September 21, 2007. Neither of these films were directed by Anderson, but he did write the scripts and function as one of the producers. Although bearing the title Resident Evil, the film is loosely based on Capcom's video games saga; it mainly borrows elements from the Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 video games.
