20 Years of ‘Resident Evil’ Box Art
I’m a fan of good box art. Not a connoisseur, but definitely an enthusiast. Unfortunately, quality box art is hard to come by these days, as the startling majority of what we see plastered on retail shelves is usually just a slight variation of a similarly themed game. It’s an annoying trend that continues to affect most post-Modern Warfare shooters, from the abysmal Medal of Honor reboot to the extraordinary BioShock Infinite. No game is safe.
Since 1996, there have been more than two dozen standalone Resident Evil games — not including the many remasters, obscure spin-offs and digital-only titles.
You would expect a series like this to have box art that’s all over the place, and it does not disappoint. When I was spending an inordinate amount of time compiling these covers, including some UK variants for our friends across the pond, I expected to see more stumbles than successes. Choosing a favorite isn’t easy, but since I’d like to know yours, I suppose I’ll settle on the GameCube remake (sorry, Resident Evil 2). What about you?

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
