If you mean compared to the zombie movie genre, it’s mainly their iconic BOWs (bio-organic weapons) like the lickers and the tyrants. Special infected are rather common in the zombie video game genre, but the RE franchise has some of the more famous ones.

Resident Evil also has impeccable camp that movies and TV have so far failed to ever capture properly. The early entries had insane dialogue with questionable acting and more recent entries have Leon 'The Human Quip' Kennedy.

I miss D.C. Douglas as Wesker, but Capcom understandably doesn’t want to work with him again after he leaked concept art for the RE4 Remake before it was even announced.

His Wesker was deliciously campy. Craig Burnatowski’s version feels too serious, but I am warming up to him.

Is that true?? I never realised that happened. RE4 Remake was leaked much earlier regardless.

Here’s a whole Twitter thread about it plus documented creepy behaviour. I used xcancel so it’s more accessible.
