10 Viral Outbreak Movies To Watch While In Quarantine

10. Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Nobody is going to pretend that the Resident Evil movies are actually good. They have no respect for the source material and struggle to pull together their own uncomprehensive plots, rather than just using the games’ writing for inspiration. The second in the franchise, however, can offer some handy tips on how to survive in a city after a widespread virus forces it into lock-down.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse takes place 30 days after the events of the first film, where an Umbrella base called The Hive releases the infamous T-Virus, causing its inhabitants to mutate into flesh-eating abominations. In this entry, the virus has now spread to the streets of Raccoon City, forcing the government to shut the entire place down.

What we can learn from this is to just bloody remain indoors. As the citizens arrive at the only exit to the city, the virus meets them there, the gates are closed and the government’s “peacekeepers” open fire on the crowd. You know who probably didn’t die? The people remaining in secure buildings and waiting for it all to blow over.
