Our night of nu-metal continues at 9pm with Resident Evil (2002), the action-packed adaptation of the iconic video game series that infuses sci-fi horror with the pulse-pounding aggression of early-2000s rock. 

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the film plunges viewers into the underground world of the Umbrella Corporation’s top-secret lab, where a deadly virus has turned the staff into ravenous zombies. Led by Milla Jovovich’s fearless and badass heroine, Alice, a team of commandos must fight their way out before the virus escapes and threatens humanity. Resident Evil blends relentless action, survival horror, and sci-fi thrills into a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled nightmare. 

The soundtrack, packed with nu-metal legends like Slipknot, Fear Factory, and Marilyn Manson, delivers a blistering backdrop to the film’s apocalyptic intensity. With heavy riffs and pounding rhythms, songs like “My Plague” from Slipknot elevate the tension and visceral horror, making Resident Evil a must-watch for fans of both the genre and the music that defined a generation. 

Combining breakneck action, mutated horrors, and a thunderous nu-metal soundtrack, Resident Evil remains a cornerstone of early-2000s horror cinema. Experience it on the big screen and get ready for a heart-pounding ride as part of our nu-metal edition of COLD SWEAT.
