8 Horror Movie Characters That Stupidly Turned Evil In The Sequel

8. Jill Valentine - Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)

While Paul W.S Anderson’s Resident Evil films aren’t as revered as the games they’re based on, these schlocky action-horror outings nevertheless have their share of fans who’re eager to get their hands on more Resi goodness.

While these films have little to do with the source material, with Anderson instead opting to create his own continuity, they do occasionally draw upon some plot points from the games. One such beat being a mind-controlled Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) betraying her friends.

This plotline was already a silly addition to Resident Evil 5 which likewise resulted in one of the most frustrating boss fights in the series’ history. But the films took this concept to even more nonsensical heights.

Before Jill even gets to take on the villain mantle proper in 2012’s Retribution, the finale of Afterlife teased her as the next bad guy by showing her with the mind-control device on her chest.

Whereas Jill’s heel-turn was kept a mystery until the finale of the game, Retribution uses this plot point simply as an excuse for more of Anderson’s corny action set-pieces. Trust this film series to botch one of the only elements it borrows from the games.
