VIDEO/AUDIO

OVERALL – 3.5/5

The Resident Evil: Complete Collection is a nice enough set and while I don’t think much about any of the six movies, a couple more serviceable than others, each one benefits from the 4K transfers and come with a good selection of bonus features making it a worthwhile purchase at the right price.
