Resident Evil, known as Biohazard​ (バイオハザード, Baiohazādo?) in Japan, is a video game series and media franchise consisting of comic books, novelizations, films, and a variety of collectibles, including action figures, strategy guides and publications. Developed by Capcom and created by Shinji Mikami, the series has sold almost 40 million games as of May 2009.

Six films have been released under the title of Resident Evil. Four of these films do not follow the games’ premise but do include game characters Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Carlos Oliveira, Nemesis, Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker, and were all written and produced by Paul W.S. Anderson. The series’ main protagonist is Alice, a completely original character created for these films. Despite a negative reaction from critics and mixed reviews from fans of the games, the live action film series has made over $600 million worldwide. (source: wikipedia)
