Terrifying, tricky, and ever so slightly awkward.
Resident Evil is undoubtedly a horror gaming classic that has sparked 6 successful sequels and a huge number of just as successful spin-offs.

The stress and anxiety caused by this game is off the charts, with the classic soundtrack (little to no music), fixed camera angles and difficult to master controls.

The fixed camera angles make the game frightening, as you never literally never know what's around the next corner, or in some cases right in front of you.

The controls are difficult to master, very typical, but a nightmare when it comes to corners and turning, as it's very much, turn and then move unlike modern games. Plus, due to the camera angles, some of the controls tend to reverse and make it difficult to control.

Waves (2019)
2019 | Drama
Like the waters in the ocean, life comes at us in waves. There's the anxiety and excitement of running into it at first, so refreshing. Then, when you aren't looking, they'll be a wave that crashes and wipes you out and it's all you can do to keep your head above water and breath. Now, caught up in the tides, a crucial choice is made. You must dig down deep and find the willpower to swim back to shore and plant your feet back in the sand or float out to sea.

I cannot remember the last movie, if any, had me as anxious as the first act of Waves. And if you're lucky enough to have tge opportunity to do so, after the emotional final act you will find yourself giving your closest loved ones a long hug.
