It’s also a campy and stupid way to spend a few hours, which is all I really want out of any media that features zombies. When Jade makes a deal with an Umbrella Corporation lackey in one episode, a song starts playing with the lyrics “I made a deal with the devil.” It’s silly, and it’s nonsensical, and it’s nothing like Resident Evil at all. It’s in the way that Jake Marcus is, for some reason, a super hacker, or that the Wesker kids in one episode spend all day partying in a construction site with a sound system and a halfpipe, or that there’s a pop music needle drop in every episode with painfully on the nose lyrics. When Resident Evil operates in a CW-esque mode, it feels like it really finds its footing. While the apocalypse portions of the show are entertaining, and often feature fun zombie gun fights, I often find myself waiting for them to be over so I can get back to the delicious teen drama. When Wesker overhears Evelyn talking to her spouse, he comments that things seem to be going well at home, and she replies, grinning ear to ear, “I’m a great lay.” In the first episode, when another student threatens his daughter, Wesker tells the student’s parent, who also works at Umbrella, that he not only wants him fired, but blacklisted throughout all of tech, saying, “I want Pornhub to shred your resume.” Most like Gossip Girl, these two adults also seem to have the composure and emotional maturity of teenagers. While Reddick’s Albert Wesker doesn’t seem interested in sex at all, he does clearly have an acrimonious history with Evelyn Marcus, played with an evil glee by Paola Núñez. In Gossip Girl, Serena and Dan’s parents dated when they were younger, and when the two teens meet in high school and hit it off, the two parents also get entangled in their own melodrama. When Jade starts flirting with Jake Marcus, son of Umbrella CEO Evelyn Marcus, her sister Billie laments that she might be dying and all Jade is concerned with is getting dicked down.Īlbert Wesker and Evelyn Marcus also put Jade and Jake into a Serena and Dan-esque scenario.
Girl vs zombies movie#
Just like the two sisters in cult 80s movie Night of the Comet, their familial relationship is given room to grow and expand, and their pubescent squabbles are treated mostly seriously. Just like Gossip Girl main characters Blair Waldorfand Serena VanDerWoodsen fell into unlikely and particularly adult social entanglements as teenagers, Billie and Jade quip and bicker their way through a nascent zombie apocalypse. If you’re a fan of the games, you probably know what happened to the original Raccoon City (zombie outbreak), and in the fiction of this version of the story, the discovery of this corporate coverup falls into the hands of two 14 year olds. Making the leads of the show two teenage girls also makes the plot of the show pretty ridiculous, but not in a way that feels out of character for Resident Evil. Given that this show takes place across two times, and the second half of the narrative is all about Jade in the future trying to survive a zombie infected post-apocalypse, you can basically see where this is going. When his animal loving daughter Billie convinces her sister Jade to sneak into the Umbrella Corporation to leak pictures of them testing on animals, they accidentally release a dog that’s had a little bit too much Joy, which bites Billie. In this show, he has two adopted daughters who come with him to New Raccoon City in South Africa, where he is working on a drug called Joy, that makes people happier.

Netflix’s Resident Evil is similarly campy, and that tone is enthusiastically embraced by Lance Riddick, who plays the longtime series villain Albert Wesker.
