In a chillingly realistic depiction of a viral outbreak, *Resident Evil: Degeneration* doesn’t simply present a zombie apocalypse; it grounds the horror within a plausible, near-future setting and explores the devastating impact of bio-terrorism on everyday lives. The narrative distinguishes itself by focusing on the collateral damage and psychological fallout experienced by survivors, rather than solely on action sequences, particularly through the lens of a young woman tragically infected and a scientist desperately seeking a cure. This animated film delivers a tense and atmospheric experience, fuelled by the past connection between Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they navigate a harrowing investigation and grapple with the ethical implications of genetic engineering and weaponized viruses. The film builds a claustrophobic mood, where survival isn’t guaranteed and former allies become suspect, offering a sobering exploration of humanity’s vulnerability in the face of scientific hubris.
