That's a pretty tenuous connection as a basis for saying RE is "buffy style", which to most people I would think means a degree of horror comedy and teen drama.
You don’t think original Resident Evil dialogues are comedy?

“You were almost a Jill Sandwich”.
“There Are Terrible Dangers. Ouch!”
“This case was just too weird”
“All Weak People Exist To Be Eaten”
“I'm Sorry For My Lack Of Manners, But I'm Not Used To Escorting Men”
“It's A Weapon, It's Really Powerful, Especially Against Living Things”

I won't give my opinon since I only played Resident Evil but I plan on buying Silent hill (The PS1 classic) on my Vita soon and I will try Silent Hill 2 remake when ever it comes out. Does anybody know if Silent Hill Shattered Memories is worth playing?
all the SH games are worth playing, Even downpour which is considered the worst in the series I still enjoyed it. Not so many games out there who can give you the same atmosphere as SH.

You can't be serious 😅

It really isn't. One of my favorite series, but it has too much action and a surplus of bullets. How can it be horrifying if you keep thinking you wanna f*ck Nemesis in it's every form, or Salazar? Silent Hill's radio and fog on the other hand, or the dimension thing...

Play 7 first. The story is connected, plus 7 Is better.

To me it's horrifying. I lose it every time nemesis or Mr x are chasing me. Just because a game is horror that doesn't mean it can't have action or comedy in it, it's still horror at the ene of the day. The environment, dark atmosphere, gore, music etc... it's just straight up horror clear as a day.

The most horrifying moment of my life was when my then girlfriend (god bless her) accidentaly knocked my working at the time HDD off the table. Doesn't really qualify as a horror moment thought.

You should try watching the Twilight series, some of the scariest shit I have ever seen.

Not really a movie but started watching the Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix , actually pretty good IMO. It's pretty graphic in some episodes.

No I would not say B movie style fumbling of poorly written dialogue is in the same category as Whedon's teen drama quipsters

Not seeing any connection between these two properties other than a vague one that they both use classic monsters

You have to be delusional as hell to not realise Resident Evil is a horror franchise 🤣

Exactly. A franchise no. I mean it has Resident Evil 1,7 and Veronica, but then again it has 3,4,5,6 and a few pathetic spin offs.

It is easy to understand if you look in another way.
For example for Dino Crysis is basically a spin-off from RE and it is not called Horror.
The horror part of Resident Evil is very light with compared with pure horror games.
It is just a part of Resident Evil and not the main focus... Survival is what the franchise focused well at least until they changed to Action.

That is why RE was never cataloged in Horror genre and Capcom had to create a new sub-genre called Survival Horror.
