Mumbai: RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION, a co-production of CAPCOM Co., Ltd. (CAPCOM) and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan Co., Ltd. (SPEJ) based on the popular video game franchise will make its worldwide theatrical debut in Japan on 18 October.

RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION will be exhibited in the US at the New York City Horror Film Festival on November 13 and at a screening in Los Angeles on November 18 hosted by Fangoria.

Produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi and directed by Makoto Kamiya, RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION is a CG-animated thrill-ride that takes the terrifying zombie action of the blockbuster Resident Evil franchise to a whole new level with jaw-dropping visual effects and heart-pounding suspense.

The Umbrella Incident that took place in Raccoon City ended with a missile attack ordered by the government intended to wipe out the deadly zombie virus. Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeted, bankrupting the business giant. Seven years later, at an airport in the Heartland of America, a commercial airliner unwittingly delivers some deadly cargo. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself.
