8 Horror Movie Moments Nobody Understands

Paul WS. Anderson's Resident Evil movie franchise did not care for such things as "continuity" or "story" or "characters" and it laughed in the faces of everyone who assumed it would. As a result, it played fast and loose with coherency and made a laughing stock of anyone trying to piece together a proper timeline, or a stable mythology for the film franchise.

The biggest headache in the series though regards the state of the world. While the zombie outbreaks initially started small, the third movie establishes that it has somehow gone airborne and devastated the entire world. Not only has most of the population been killed, but the virus has dried up the oceans and transformed the world into a Mad Max-style desert wasteland.

All well and good, but then the fourth movie reigns that right back, transporting our characters to locations with lush environments, huge bodies of water, and nary a speck of sand in sight.

So what gives? Well, nobody knows! It's never directly addressed in the movies, so audiences are just supposed to rely on their own imagination to fill in the blanks as to why the world changes states so dramatically.
