I kept it all down but there were moment when I thought I wouldn’t, for that is one strong movie – the banality of evil personified slow, deliberate zombies coming after you and catching you and eating you alive. The day before, I had watched the uncut version (it’s heavily edited for TV) in his New York office – right after eating a hearty lunch. He’s directing a sequel to 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, which is a terrifying chronicle of the dead coming back to life and eating the living.
He’s a large, bearlike, affable man who looks more like he should be directing Benji than what he’s doing right now What he’s doing right now is hanging out in the Monroeville Shopping Mall, near Pittsburgh, up to his armpits in blood and gore. Night of the Living Dead has been described a “the most horrifying, stomach-churning charnel in the history of horror.” That description makes its creator, George Romero, chuckle. Romero changed popular culture's idea of the modern zombie and Resident Evil was not afraid to pay homage to the legendary filmmaker's work early in the series.This story originally appeared in the March 23rd, 1978 issue of Rolling Stone. All kinds of aspects in Resident Evil are cinematic in nature, like the now mostly abandoned fixed angle perspective that mimics horror film shots ( which fans have recently modded RE7 to include). In the film a team of four survivors escape a city overrun by zombies, fortify themselves in an abandoned shopping mall as they attempt to keep their lives in a doomed hellscape. While the first Resident Evil game eventually leads to different environments after the mansion, it still plays close to the rhythm established by Night of the Living Dead. Out of Romero's original zombie trilogy, started by Night and completed with Day of the Dead, it appears Resident Evil most often referenced 1978's Dawn of the Dead, the most commercially and critically acclaimed of the trilogy.

The first segment of Resident Evil has gamers navigate a zombie-filled mansion, unable to escape, fighting amongst their supposed teammates while besieged by the hungry undead. Romero's groundbreaking, cult-classic zombie films as a major reference point when the game was designed prior to its 1996 premiere on PlayStation.
