Evil Unearthed

George A. Romero's Resident Evil is an American documentary film directed and co-written by Brandon Salisbury. The documentary is about the unrealized film adaptation of the horror video game series Resident Evil, for which filmmaker George A. Romero was considered as a director; in 1998, Romero completed a draft of a screenplay for a Resident Evil film for Constantin Film, but the game series' publisher, Capcom, rejected the script. A film adaptation written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and produced by Constantin Film was eventually released in 2002. George A. Romero's Resident Evil features interviews with figures associated with the unrealized Resident Evil adaptation, as well as archival footage and "unearthed documents" that pertain to the project. The documentary is filmed in a mansion, intended to be reminiscent of the fictional Spencer Mansion that served as the setting for the first Resident Evil game. Pablo Kuntz, the original voice of Albert Wesker in the original game, narrates the documentary. The documentary was released on digital and on demand on January 7, 2025.
