Resident Evil
“A secret experiment. A deadly virus. A fatal mistake.”
When a virus leaks from a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell, the government sends in an elite military task force to contain the outbreak.
