Reaction: Not quite the numbers we were hoping for here at the studio, but they're respectable enough given the R rating and a lack of big names.
"While markedly more faithful to the video games than previous adaptations, the film may hew too close to the games at times - sacrificing the film experience in favor of recreating the effect of watching someone play the video game." - Shawn Moseby, Fresno Bee
"While there are some talented actors in the cast, they seem far too baby-faced almost completely across the board. Of the main cast, only Foster and Marshall-Green avoid coming across as the cast of 'Resident Evil Jr.' Perhaps they should have waited a few years, or sought out more age appropriate actors." - Jason Helm, New York Observer
"Thankfully James Wan's film avoids many of the trap-falls that riddled Paul W.S. Anderson's dreadful series of films. Wan is great at generating genuine scares coupled with solid action." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com
