A guest review by Ian “Devo” Montgomery
Synopsis
PAUL W.S. ANDERSON’S WIFE stars in PAUL W.S. ANDERSON’S slightly-more-faithful adaptation of the POPULAR VIDEO GAME SEQUEL.
In response to a MAN-MADE PLAGUE leaking out in their underground lab from the first film, the Umbrella Corporation think it’s a good idea to RE-OPEN THE DOORS and see what happened down there. Naturally, ALL THE ZOMBIES HAPPEN and an entire city goes to hell. COPS, COMMANDOS and PAUL W.S. ANDERSON’S WIFE (oh myyy!) fight against the undead hordes whilst looking for a lost child while being chased by a mutant super-soldier.
