Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

How could I not be excited to watch Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City? It is a classic series, and surely the writers and directors know what we want as this point right?

Sadly, that logic doesn’t appear to hold water. There is a long, slow build up that takes over 40 minutes for us to get to the good stuff. The reality is that this movie could have started at the 40 minute mark and it would have been better.

So how does it hold up after we’ve invested 40 minutes into it? It does after all have an all star cast. We have Hannah John-Kamen from Killjoys/Game of Thrones and Tom Hopper from The Umbrella Academy. That should give this movie a leg up.

Once the action really gets started it does a good job. It just makes me wonder if the writers and directors really understand what we love about the series though. Why did they waste the first half of the movie with plot and character backstory. None of that is needed. We all know how things work in Raccoon City.

Welcome To Raccoon City
Welcome To Raccoon City

The movie has two major plots. We see a small tactical team get torn to bits at Spencer Mansion while back in the city what is left of the police department is holed up in the precinct. Eventually the storylines meet up, reuniting brother and sister as they attempt to escape Raccoon City.

Welcome to Raccoon City Scoring

So how well did they pull off the second half of the movie?

It could have been better. I ‘m giving Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City a 43/100 putting it on the weaker end of the Rainy Day Movie Scale.

Why? The first half of the movie felt like filler, and the writers and directors seemed to have forgotten what makes a good Zombie Movie – mainly lots and lots of Zombies. Is that so hard to remember?

Bad Gun Handling – Know Your Weapons

This is why it is so important to Know Your Weapons. Where is the muzzle? What is the offsite between the muzzle and the sights? Just because you can see down the sights doesn’t mean that the muzzle is clear.

Think he can sell this as a Speed Holes mod? I’d love to know what he told his spouse when he got home. Did he go with something like road debris hit him or was he honest and just told the truth. He F*cked Up.

Know Your Weapons
Eye Punch = Bad Gun Handling
Know Your Weapons

Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Putting the scope directly to your eye is a bad idea. It is definitely not treating that weapon as if its loaded.

Lethal Virus (2021)

Lethal Virus opens with one of our main characters forced to head outside when his supplies runout. The streets are empty, at least until he heads into a mall. At this point it’s not clear he understands how bad the situation is. If he wasn’t before he got to the mall, he quickly figured it out. It doesn’t take long for him to come face to face with a horde of Zombies in the mall hallways. As he runs for his life we cut over to the other main character. The other main character is a female scientist being escorted to safety by her military convoy. At least until it is overrun by the undead.

Lethal Virus
Lethal Virus

With her convoy overrun, our scientist flees into the woods. As luck would have it she meets up with our other main character.

Up until this point the movie was low budget but high action, and was doing fairly well. Once our two main characters team up there is a bit more dialogue, and then the movie follows a very predictable course.

There is a lot of bad dialogue that felt like it got copied from a bad video game. There is a twist at the end, but I have to be honest, it didn’t make sense to me. If the scientist wasn’t a high value staff member why did she have a military convoy and so on?

Lethal Virus Scoring

In the end the special effects were C+, the dialogue was a C-. They get an A+ for the number of zombies and hordes. They did that really well, but overall the movie had just a few too many gaps for me. I’m giving it 46/100, put it squarely in Rainy Day Movie territory.

Bad Gun Handling – Almost Lost His Head

This guy Almost Lost His Head. Never, ever, look down the barrel of a weapon. Not unless you want to featured on Bad Gun Handling!

Never point a weapon at anything you don’t intend to destroy.

Treat every weapon as if its loaded.

This guy is so lucky he didn’t punch his ticket right then and there…

Almost Lost his Head
Eye Punch = Bad Gun Handling
Know Your Weapons

Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 2. Looking down the barrel led this guy to Almost Lost His Head. If he’d been leaning over just a bit more this could have been a horrible tragedy instead of a bad wound.

F.E.A.R. (2021)

I really liked how Forget Everything And Run, aka F.E.A.R. opens. A father and son are out in the woods. The father has set up a trap to teach the son how to shoot. The son isn’t able to make the shot. After the kid shoots and misses the dad is forced to save him. Afterward, the father explains that the Zombies hunt by sensing heat.

So did the kid set up the torches without the dad knowing? Was this a Zombie trap shooting range? It is not really clear…ever.

F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R.

The film quality, acting, and special effects are all good, including the dialogue. Sometimes the details are overlooked in Zombie movies – but not here.

F.E.A.R. Scoring

So why did F.E.A.R score a 67/100? That makes this movie a Rainy Day Movie. So why? There just isn’t a whole lot here. The Zombies become a plot device versus being a real focus of the story. Then, once the house is attacked by other survivors, this movie is really about that. Making it worse, this movie covers almost every survival trope. Someone got bit, the “bad” guy survivors are also cannibals, and then of course the noble sacrifice.

Still, it is at the high end of the Rainy Day Movie scale, so let me know if you disagree with my score in the comments.

Bad Gun Handling – Vehicle Damage

This Vehicle Damage had two causes. The first was excitement. I am positive this guy bought a new gun as was excited to shoot it. The second was not fully understanding how powerful the weapon was. The result was him blowing out his stop lights and turn signals.

This is why stopping and thinking about safety is always important. Thankfully it doesn’t look like the debris from the truck hurt anyone but it could have.

Be safe out there…

Vehicle Damage
Vehicle Damage = Bad Gun Handling
Vehicle Damage

Why do I show these videos and pictures? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

This is a clear violation of Rule 1. Having the muzzle of this weapon next to something breakable is a clear example of always keeping your firearm in a safe direction. Muzzle blast counts as part of that equation people!

Black Friday (2021)

I was super excited to see Black Friday. What could be better than a shopping center surrounded by the infected? As a bonus, Bruce Campbell is in it! It sounds like a Thanksgiving treat doesn’t it? So now lets see how it holds up.

Black Friday
Black Friday

Honestly, I guess I was hoping for more of a traditional Zombie Movie and what I got was a lot more character development than needed, and the infected were more space alien than Zombie. I feel a little bit bad saying this, but a big part of my mental miss match was the fact that when I see Bruce Campbell I think of Army of Darkness. Sadly, this was nothing like Army of Darkness.

Black Friday Scoring

Overall it was watchable, but I’d save it for a Rainy Day as it only scored a 53/100. If you don’t go in expecting a traditional Zombie Movie with Bruce Campbell killing some undead, maybe you will like it more than I did.

Bad Gun Handling – Every Gun Is Loaded

Every Gun Is Loaded. Treat them like they are. Every time, all the time. Guns are not toys. Treat them with respect at all time. Or you might just have to pay a really high price.

Do the same thing every time. Check, then double check the weapon. It is very clear what this gentleman did. He racked the slide and saw a round go flying. The problem is that all he did was cycle the next round into the chamber when he racked the slide.

Never assume a weapon is empty. Check it, recheck it, and then treat it with respect. This is just so scary. He is in a room full of teenagers!
