The live-action Resident Evil movies were hit-and-miss but still succeeded in building a separate mythology. The series also achieved what other franchises failed to build within the zombie genre.
All of Milla Jovovich's Resident Evil films are now streaming on Pluto TV. For fans who have yet to binge-watch the entire series, Resident Evil and its sequels Apocalypse, Extinction, Afterlife, Retribution, and The Final Chapter have a total runtime of over nine hours (including the end credits). The films are loosely based on the lore of the video games, which leaned heavily on the horror elements of the zombie genre. Die-hard fans of the franchise warmed up to the movies' merits over the years, however; the adaptations featured spot-on depictions of canon characters like Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Albert Wesker. The series also deserves credit for maintaining continuity through its sole protagonist Alice (played by Milla Jovovich).

Kyle Ward, the writer behind the upcoming videogame adaptation sequel Hitman 2, has been hired to write a big screen version of Capcom's very popular Devil May Cry series.
The film is being produced through Sony's Screen Gems division. The story of the game revolves around a white haired young man named Dante who must avenge his mother's murder by slaying demons.
The game was originally developed as a third chapter in the Resident Evil series, but when the storyline started to veer in a decidedly off direction, Capcom released it as its own franchise. The game has sold more than 10 million units to date.
Sony's Screen Gems has been quite successful in turning Resident Evil into a continuing movie franchise, and they hope to do the same with Devil May Cry. There are currently five games in Capcom's Devil May Cry series.
