There are a thousand directors worse than Anderson in Hollywood and I would much rather watch him knock out a B movie with an A budget than the endless crappy 'Horror' or rom com films that regularly take a sh
it in our cinemas.
Blame studios for Resident Evil. Although Anderson's 1st film and subsequent scripts for the following two (he didn't direct them) were a massive let down regarding the game fanboys, he was the fall guy as George A Romero was originally commissioned to script and direct and when he presented his version the studios crapped themselves as it was too dark and wouldn't have appealed to the games demographic. Kinda ironic when the games themselves have been heavily influenced by Romero in the first place.
BTW Event Horizon is far from a bad film and Death Race was enjoyable nonsense.
