A film by Paul W.S. Anderson, starring Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Eric Mabius, James Purefoy, Martin Crewes, Colin Salmon, Ryan McCluskey, Oscar Pearce, Indra Ové, Anna Bolt, Joseph May, Robert Tannion, Heike Makatsch, Jaymes Butler, Stephen Billington, Fiona Glascott, Pasquale Aleardi, Liz May Brice, Torsten Jerabek, Marc Logan-Black, Michaela Dicker, and Jason Isaacs.

Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, Resident Evil is an action-horror film that follows an amnesiac operative and an elite team of Umbrella Corporation commandos. Together, they breach a top-secret underground lab locked down by a rogue AI, with orders to shut down the supercomputer that slaughtered the facility’s entire staff.

RESIDENT EVIL was theatrically released in the United States on 15 March 2002. The film grossed $103 million worldwide against a production budget of $33 million.

RESIDENT EVIL was released on 4K Ultra HD on 17 November 2020, debuting exclusively as a part of Sony’s RESIDENT EVIL: The Complete Collection box set before receiving a standalone release the following year. Because the movie was originally shot on 35mm film, the native 4K (2160p) scan provided a massive visual upgrade over older, noise-reduced Blu-rays, utilizing HDR10 in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Alongside the improved picture, the release featured a newly remixed Dolby Atmos audio track with spatial audio and height channels, as well as the legacy DTS-HD 5.1 mix. All legacy bonus features, including commentaries, featurettes, and Slipknot’s “My Plague” music video, were preserved on an accompanying standard 1080p Blu-ray.

Following its initial debut in the Complete Collection box set, the original RESIDENT EVIL received a standalone 2-disc 4K Ultra HD release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on 23 August 2021. The first disc is dedicated entirely to the upgraded feature film, presenting a native 4K (2160p) scan from the original 35mm camera negative with HDR10 in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. This disc also features the newly remixed Dolby Atmos audio track alongside the legacy DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 theatrical mix. All legacy special features are housed on the second disc, which is a standard 1080p Blu-ray. The extras include cast, filmmaker, and visual effects commentaries, an alternate ending with a video introduction by director Paul W.S. Anderson, twelve behind-the-scenes production featurettes, and the music video for Slipknot’s “My Plague.”
