Resident Evil Movie DVD Going Cheap @ Play.com

The original Resident Evil movie, which was the first to introduce the character, ‘Alice’, played by the lovely Milla Jovovich, is now on sale over at Play.com for the ultra-low price of £2.99. Obviously this is a post more aimed at the UK and Ireland readers of Resident Evil News dot com, but perhaps everyone outside of the UK will be able to find a similar deal in their local online DVD retailers.

The Resident Evil DVD contains a wealth of bonus and special features, despite its tiny price tag, which can only be a good thing. Here’s a list of some of the extras you can expect to come included with the Resident Evil movie should you decide to make a purchase:

• Audio commentary from the cast and crew

• ‘Scoring Resident Evil’ featurette
• ‘Costumes’ featurette
• ‘Set Design’ featurette
• Zombie camera tests
• Slipknot ‘My Plague’ music video easter egg (hidden feature)
• Theatrical trailer
• Teaser trailer
• Interactive menu

And here’s a brief synopsis to help whet your whistle:

Something rotten is brewing beneath the industrial mecca known as Raccoon City. Unknown to its millions of residents, a huge underground bioengineering facility known as The Hive has accidentally unleashed the deadly and mutating T-virus, killing all of its employees. To contain the leak, the governing supercomputer Red Queen has sealed all entrances and exits. Now a team of highly-trained super commandos including Rain, Alice and Matt must race to penetrate The Hive in order to isolate the T-virus before it overwhelms humanity. To do so, they must get past the Red Queen’s deadly defenses, face the flesh-eating undead employees, fight killer mutant dogs and battle The Licker, a genetically mutated savage beast whose strength increases with each of its slain victims.
