The Baker Family is Resident Evil’s homage to both the cannibal hillbilly clan of “ Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and the Deadites of “ The Evil Dead”. And they also keep horrifying humanoid beings made of mold in their basement… Hopefully, Ethan will be helped by a benevolent girl named Zoe – who happens to be the only sane and normal member of the Baker family.
Afterward, Ethan discovers that the apparently abandoned area is actually still home to its original owners, the Bakers family, a clan of murderous, cannibalistic and insane killers… that happen to mutate into horrible beings from time to time. And then she resurrects herself and cuts Ethan’s hand with a chainsaw, forcing him to kill her a second time. There he finds his wife, Mia, locked in a basement, and frees her… only for her to attack him in such a violent frenzy he is forced to kill her. The given address leads to the “Dulvey Haunted House”, an abandoned location near Dulvey (in Louisiana). Except that we are in 2017, and Mia has been pronounced dead after her mysterious disappearance in 2014. Ethan just got a message from his wife, Mia, asking him to come get her at a given address. The protagonist of this game is Ethan Winters, an ordinary system engineer living in the United-States. I will explore this game in more details than the previous ones, since we are delving into the most “horrifying” parts and into the prequel of Resident Evil: Village.
RESIDENT EVIL 7 TV TROPES MOVIE
Interestingly, the game was also influenced by the classic horror movie “ The Evil Dead”, which was the basis of the concept for 7.
This particular game is a love letter to the “ Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise, and just like said franchise is located at a crossroad between a modernized “Southern Gothic” horror and the more cinematic and crass “Deep South” horror archetype – though ultimately it returns to the science-fiction horror and biohazard threats typical of the Resident Evil series. More precisely by delving into horror genres. Resident Evil 7 is the first chapter of what I call the « third act » of the Resident Evil series, and starts the franchise’s return to survival horror.
