10 Terrible Horror Movies With ONE Incredible Scene
10. The Redfields vs Wesker - Resident Evil: Afterlife
It's safe to say that the Resident Evil series of films made far less of a splash than the video games they were based on.
Afterlife, the fourth instalment of the Paul W. S. Anderson-directed series, drew mostly from the fifth game and introduced moviegoers to the character of Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller). In Resi 5, Chris has an epic confrontation with main antagonist Albert Wesker, and the film recreates this iconic moment, only with Chris' sister Claire at his side.
The fight between Chris and Claire (Ali Larter) and Wesker (Shawn Roberts) is by far and away the highlight of this otherwise dismal movie.
It's so well-choreographed, with the suped-up Wesker able to dodge bullets and survive knife attacks as the Redfield siblings desperately try to put him down. There's also a great bit of CGI where Wesker throws his glasses through the air and you can see the reflections of the three characters in them. It looked great at the time, and it still looks great now.
Where the hell was this sort of creativity for the rest of the runtime? Or the rest of the franchise, for that matter?
