As zombie flicks go, Resident Evil is a little short on braaaaiiinnnnnnsss. But in a world where so many ''fun'' B movies turn out to be stiffs, who cares?

It's a tickly pleasure to watch Milla Jovovich run, kick, and generally whip walking-dead heinie in ''Event Horizon'' director Paul Anderson's horror film (adapted from the best-selling videogame) about a gal trying to contain a mutant virus unleashed by a gigantic, soulless, profit-mad company called WorldCo...er, Tyc...er, the Umbrella Corporation.
