Based on a comic series and taking place just prior to where the game starts, this is a weak attempt to piggyback off of a video game release.
Sadly there is nothing innovative here, least of all the story.
Which I might have been able to overlooked if the animation was interes...( read more)

A prequel to the incredible action horror video game. If you haven't played it yet, and are a fan of survival horror or shooters, you're missing out on one of the best games to hit all platforms in the last several years.
