Is That Lisa in the ‘Resident Evil: Vendetta’ Trailer?

Published

A trailer for Resident Evil: Vendetta, the CGI original film that follows 2008’s Degeneration and 2012’s Damnation, has been released and it can be seen below. The film supposedly is being treated as a “reboot” to the series and it looks like it takes a lot of influence and story from the Resident Evil 1 HD remake, which featured the terrifying character Lisa.

While the main character appears to be Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy also is featured prominently throughout the trailer. Furthermore, even though Rebecca Chambers is said to be in the movie, I don’t think this follows the Resident Evil 1 storyline. The mansion looks like the Spencer Estate but that blew up at the end of the first game. Additionally, Redfield appears to be leading a group of BSAA soldiers, which means that the storyline takes place after the events of Raccoon City.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens when Resident Evil: Vendetta comes out in Spring 2017. Well, Japan will get to see. We’ll have to wait for an international release.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
