Remember that sequence at the start with Jim waking from a coma in St Thomas Hospital?
Course ya do.
Resident Evil - UK release (12 July 2002)
At the end, Alice wakes up strapped to an operating table, briefly explores a hospital and finds Raccoon City in ruins.
Good luck finding anything like that in the games.
Alice's red cocktail dress was inspired by Ada Wong's physical debut in Resident Evil 2 (1998).
Yeah, she was only a computer password in 1996 original.

I Am Legend
Richard Matheson's 1954 novel popularised the concept of a pandemic devastating civilisation.
Mary Shelley invented genre though, with The Last Man (1826).
The late and great George A. Romero states written word and its original cinematic adaptation The Last Man on Earth (1964) were key influences for Night of the Living Dead (1968).
Anyway, the second version of Matheson's novel was The Omega Man (1971), which unlike the former starring Vincent Price, Charlton Heston retained the protagonist's name Robert Neville.
Ignoring The Asylum's mockbuster I Am Omega, novel's actual title wasn't appropriated until 2007, when Will Smith stepped into the role.

Getting back on track.
Loosely based on Craig Harrison's 1981 novel of same name, Geoff Murphy's The Quiet Earth (1985) was an unofficial remake of Ranald MacDougall's The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959), which shares a similar premise to Five (1951).

Holy SHIT!
In both instances, striking imagery was captured by cast and crew shooting locations at dawn for limited periods over x amount days.
Time to remind everybody of something I first revealed to the world in October 2020.
Primal Rage (1988)

When college journalist Frank breaks into the laboratory, he's bitten on the arm by test subject.
As infection worsens.

No matter how different the rest is, they plagiarised idea for set up.
