10 More Unexpected Transformations In Zombie Movies

10. Tyrant - Resident Evil: Extinction

Resident Evil: Extinction has Alice once again trying to take down Umbrella's head scientist, Dr. Alexander Isaacs, who intends to turn humanity into zombies for... reasons.

After Isaacs becomes infected, he takes a huge dose of the anti-virus, hoping to cure himself. Instead, Isaacs makes the virus stronger, causing him to mutate into a super-zombie. So, when he's shot "dead" by his co-worker, it's not a surprise when Isaacs' back on his feet a few seconds later. 

However, Isaac's next mutation is a bit unexpected. Transforming his hand into a bunch of slithering tentacles, the scientist launches his new appendage at his co-worker, burrowing into his eyes and mouth. Pretty creepy, but Isaacs is far from finished. By the time Alice arrives in his lair, the villainous virologist has transformed into Tyrant, the final boss from the first Resident Evil game. 

Although the Resident Evil movies are more miss than hit, seeing Tyrant in live-action was a great bit of fan-service. Even those unfamiliar with the video games should appreciate Tyrant's design, since the nasty creature was brought to life with elaborate prosthetics rather than excessive CGI.
