How To Watch Resident Evil (In Chronological Order): All 7 Movies

The action horror film series Resident Evil is based on the popular Japanese video games created by Capcom. It holds the record for having the highest number of live-action film adaptations based on a video game. They showcase a blend of action, menacing creatures, sci-fi weapons, and cheesy quotes, all presented in the distinctive style of the early 2000s. Though the movies have received generally negative reviews from critics, it has earned the reputation of being the most successful zombie franchise in terms of box office revenue. Furthermore, it is the highest-grossing film series ever adapted from a video game, firmly establishing itself as a prominent franchise in the entertainment industry, with six movies, a reboot flick, and a spin-off TV series. Their storylines are in sync with those of the game. For the dedicated fans of the franchise, here is a list of Resident Evil movies to watch in order of their release dates.
