The video game industry's first leading lady was created out of impatience. Over the years, Resident Evil has not proven itself a master of subtlety, with its lineup of gory scientific abominations and no shortage of jump scares, but back in 1996, alone in that claustrophobic corridor, it managed to sear an image in fans’ heads that few of us will forget. It could be its scaly, sheet white skin, its more human-like eyes, or the unnatural way it seems to turn its head to face you. It’s the first zombie you see in the game in both the original and the HD remake, but there’s something so much creepier about the version from 1996. But the first time you encounter one of the franchise’s most iconic baddies feasting on a fallen Bravo Team member in a dark corner of the eerie Spencer Estate, it’s hard to scrub the image from your memory.ĭubbed the “Turning Around Zombie” by series producer Shinji Mikami, the blood-soaked undead can be found just moments after Wesker, Barry, and Jill/Chris enter the mansion, in a cramped hallway just past the dining room. The first Resident Evil was goofy even back in the ‘90s, with its campy dialogue, stilted voice acting, and that atrocious live action intro.
