Welcome to Raccoon Shitty
WilliamOct 4, 2026Hello Leon S. Kennedy. My name is Claire Redfield. I'm looking for my brother Chris Redfield. Have you met him, Leon S. Kennedy? He should be with Jill Valentine. They went to investigate the Spencer Mansion. It was constructed by Oswald E. Spencer, the co-founder of the…
James (Schaffrillas)Nov 24, 2021Respect the attempt to try and bring back the Silent Hill (2006) era of horror videogame adaptation (all confusing lore mystery, creepy atmosphere, gnarly violence, and wonky CG) and this Roberts guy knows how to compose a widescreen frame (nice slow zooms and split…

Despicable in almost every way. It's a shame because you can tell the actors are trying their best.

35 Not as bad as I feared, but this struggles to get past the hurdle of attempting to adapt Resident Evil 1 *and* 2. Too much character set-up and structural ambition for a low-budget Screen Gems production that deserved to be a 75 minute romp through the Spencer mansion.…
SilentDawnNov 23, 2021Equivalent to watching a YouTube gameplay walkthrough… but it’s only the cutscenes.
ZachNov 26, 2021Claire looking at Leon for being consistently pathetic was my mood with this movie as a whole. I do believe in Claire Redfield supremacy though.

- Kass Cade dislikedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
The story sticks closer to the source material than other Resident Evil movies, but otherwise is a big mess. I felt no attachment for anything this had to offer.
Raiyne dislikedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityIt was honestly the worst interpretation of the resident evil games and books I ever seen. They messed up all of the characters, and I don’t mean the actors. The writing ruined the pacing of the story and the personalities, and chemistry of all characters. .
Pete Z dislikedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityHorrible representation of the characters in the games. I played 2 or 3 of the games and the characters are nothing like the originals. Putting that aside, on its own it’s a bad horror movie. 3.5/10
- Saucy is "meh" onResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
Honestly it’s a good movie but it’s bad resident evil adaptation. Not a terrible adaptation cause they did do a lot of stuff good but adapting 1 & 2 in the same movie was a bad choice honestly woulda work better if they did it with 2 & 3.
amarhandsomeboi . likedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityzombies were realistic but didnt like the characters that much . the actress that played jill was amazing but can’t say the same about claire and leon . movie was decent . expected more tbh
HellFireMunson lovedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityI love resident evil. So much. I’m excited to see where the series goes from here
- Angie Sard dislikedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
Leon is completely retarder, I hate it
Felix Kemp dislikedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityThe director claimed that this would be faithful to the games (Resident Evil & Resident Evil 2) but it was very different. Not only had some of the iconic characters like Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine changed race but the whole story was not very good.
TribianiRamoray likedResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityRated: 5.5/10 As a survival horror fan, a 1998 reboot bringing back the Spencer Mansion and RPD got me to tune in. I like this; jamming the first two games into one rainy night gets messy, but the 90s vibe and Easter eggs kept me smiling. The Director's Eye (What Worked): • Amell makes a solid…

This movie was nothing but randomly showing characters / locations / puzzle items from the games hoping that fans would like it and the story points go minute by minute before they cut to another story plot with the wrong characters at the wrong place . “ how the hell did…

RDRalph DeLellisAs a RE fan from the first game all the way to today, it was nice but could have been better. Clearly a love for the series is noticable but I feel Sony forced them to make "modern" changes. All the male characters were made stupid and had to be saved by women, Leon was the…

I think they tried to put the two games together in one movie and they cut out a lot of interesting things from the game and it also felt rushed the story.
BMbat manKnew this movie was not goinna live up to expectations since it is driven from like 4 RE games. The source material is too all over the place. Miscast of all characters. No original character traits. So laughable when it shouldn't be and where it is intentional, they do ok…

If indeed this is a full on franchise reboot, this “origin story” is no Welcome to Raccoon City at all. It’s a warning to avoid ever coming back.

It’s not terrible as far as video game adaptations go, but as with many of them you’ll be wondering what the point is when a superior experience already exists.

Whatever the flaws of the previous Resident Evil series, those films were never as dull as Raccoon City. Roberts doesn't seem to know how to milk anything resembling genuine horror out of the material here.
