There's so much terror to witness in Capcom's short film teaser 'Evil Has Always Had A Name,' it's hard to decide what mutant to feel paranoid about first. I'm certain, though, that the three-minute video is one of Capcom's best Resident Evil movies so far.
I have more affection for the string of Resident Evil adaptations starring Milla Jovovich than some other people (including GamesRadar+ reviewers in 2004), but I never thought those action-heavy movies managed to sublimate Resident Evil's slightly gothic air. But since 'Evil Has Always Had A Name' is a short film – featuring the wonderfully, recklessly fragile Longlegs actress Maika Monroe – it has to quickly embrace dread.
