Andrew Dabb's only credit is Supernatural, and Bronwen Hughes has directed single episodes for several TV shows throughout her career. I'm being cautiously optimistic. Anything that is actually based on the games has to be better than the Paul Anderson content we've been tortured with for 20 years.

I actually thought the third one wasn't bad, either, but as an apocalyptic zombie file that was not Resident Evil.
