About Resident Evil
Resident Evil created the survival horror genre in 1996 and has been adapted into a film series that earned more than a billion dollars. Its remakes of the older games have outsold the originals substantially. Capcom made it, and its name in Japan is Biohazard, changed for Western release because an American band already held that trademark.
