The Keeper's Diary: A Biohazard Story

This short movie managed to capture the pure soul of the Resident Evil franchise where every film and TV show that has came out failed. The atmosphere is so thick and perfectly dark, The set design is amazing, costumes on point, and the cg is very surprisingly good for a fan film. This film tells an interesting story behind a note found in the game, what an awesome idea. There have been so many movies and TV shows about Resident Evil and they have all failed to feel like they were actually about Resident Evil and it's been painful as a huge fan of the franchise. This short film does everything I can think of so right I wish Capcom would look at this and try to find someone who will make something similarly as faithful and as purely like the games but in movie form, not adaptation. (I'm not a movie Reviewer but I felt passionate enough about this to leave a review so sorry if it's not well written)

When you get the right people on board for a film, anything is possible, and the ROE team did an amazing job. Not only did they put in easter eggs that actually fit, they told a great story, its atmosphere is on point, and they brought back two actors who played Chris Redfield in the actual games.

The feel and tone of the RE games was clear and present in this film. Nothing insults the source material and its clear the team knew exactly what the homework was and they nailed every single aspect of this.

These guys should be making the hollywood version of the games, they proved it here.

This is the stuff Hollywood wishes they could do instead of getting people who have no idea about the importance of the source material and cost the movie studios major losses.

Dear Resident Evil Diary, Upon hearing that a short Resident Evil inspired film was in development from a dedicated fan filmmaker, I waited in anticipation for the release of the Keeper's Diary. This short did not disappoint in any way. The casting coup is original Chris Redfield actor Charles Kraslavski, from the OG game, plays the titular character, the Keeper. The director's vision of following of the source material is what all fans have desired. The cinematography is breathtaking considering the fan film status makes it looks like a pice of art. The CGI was excellent even with a limited budget. The costuming was on point, but I do have to say, the beret on Jill could have fit better. The set design was so close to the actual game it did evoke nostalgia in me. Overall, this is a short with panache and I do look forward to this team working together again to bring to life the teaser during the credits.

I am itching for it and am sure it will be just as tasty.

I've seen all the adaptations up to this point and spin offs, they have been mediocre at best. They lack the horror feel and any resemblance to the game series. I've been a fan of the game since the release of RE2. Watching this adaptation was incredible. The care taken to utilize something from the game, utilize original cast members, and make sure to keep the fear element is unmatched. Capcom take note, maybe think about a collaboration. Let the fans express how they think it should be. The original idea was developed and we are fans because of that original idea. Get this team to assist in the next movie or series ideas; they have it down for sure!

And the teaser at the end of the movie ... I'm excited for what's next from these guys!

What they did with the VERY limited budget is nothing but a miracle in itself. It is an amazing film, shot well with atmospheric tension, great effects, and impressive CGI (given their budget). Love this, awesome film. The horror of creatures and the look of dying and decayed bodies looks like something out of The Walking Dead. A surprise action scene really, really solidified the danger and threat of the monsters and abominations lurking around the laboratory. The acting from everyone was very professional and you really feel what each character is like, even with their limited screen time. Fantastic work all in all.
