Resident Evil: The Lost City Of America Part 1

Welcome to the Lost City of America, a fan- made documentary film that details the Raccoon City Destruction Incident in it's CANONICAL form. This film is meant to explain the details behind the city's destruction, while also tying in the early Resident Evil lore behind Umbrella's rise. This film utilizes a combination of in-game and stock footage, along with custom-made graphics and voice- acting/ narration, to give you a concise look at the events behind the early series.

In part 1, we focus on explaining to you the rise of the Umbrella Corporation, the back-story behind Raccoon City, and the various events and incidents that lead up to the city's demise. This is the true "documentary" half of the film.

This is a Fan-made project. ALL credits to ALL music, images, and material NOT owned by Crazy House Productions are listed during the credits reel at the end of each part. There's way too many to list here, but credit is given where credit is due, so fast- forward to the credits to see what I mean!

My lifelong dream!! You are amazing! When I was a kid I used to have books and books detailing everything that happened in the game. I was super fascinated with the history and timeline. I even made a giant binder detailing the history of the games, carried it everywhere. I put everything in storage and one day hoped to reread it but came to find out my father threw it all away. But anyhoo I’m so very glad and happy at how well your documentary is. Please continue your amazing work.

Dude, whoever cut this is very talented. I've heard this story a million times I grew up with it, yet, here I am watching it like I've never played the games. Very well done.

[MrBlack-SS]

This has to be the best Resident Evil documentary I've ever seen. It's very well done and I can see the dedication put into it. Thank you for telling the RE story the way it should be told. This story can easily be adopted into a TV series but the people controlling it have no idea what they're doing.

I was 33 fresh out of trucking school and took a route going through through Raccoon city... One day just before I was leaving to start my route I gotta call and was let go. I never knew why until now. All those people

[bigmclargehuge]

Bruh, I forgot this documentary was talking about a game lol

[furious]

Whoever put this together truly has a gift. This actually sounds like a real-life documentary.

[Crafty-One]

This is the difference between ART and Souless "trend chasers". Great job. Pure passion. REAL passion.

[adrisioux]

My brother was on the RPD when the Oubreak happened. He managed to escape with a group of survivors, but he was never the same.

[brothadarkness]

Bro, this is top tier stuff, wonderful use of synth wave to make it feel like a 80's horror flick, excellent voice acting, and the documentary style and feel is perfect! More proof why most RE fans never left Racoon city because there was still so much left to tell.

[Chemical_Symphony]

The reading of Martin's Letter is absolutely terrifying. The various zombie growls and moans and the sounds of them struggling with the door trying to get in is just so well done but i could say the same for the entire 3 part series so far, just amazing. I've watched these so many times and it never gets old. Please continue as much as you are comfortable doing, as I'd watch these retellings of the entire series. Main games, side games, all of them. You all have just done the best job imaginable.

Dude, I stumbled on this right after an absolutely soul crushing loss in the SB I found this video to take my mind off football. I can’t believe this only has a few thousand views and you only have ~600 subs. This is the most well done video I’ve seen on video game lore. Really fucking great job man, you should be a documentarian. Your editing with the real life clips were perfect. I don’t know how you found some of them, like tthe quote “we haven’t found them in the woods yet, ” and the other real life clips around the the deaths of the hikers, was as good as a documentary you’d see on the bistory channel and MUCH better than what you’d see on true crime.

Keep going with your stuff buddy, you have a gift. Thanks for sharing it with me.

[DionysosDrinker]

Not enough views for this masterpiece. One of the best lore videos I have seen on YouTube.

Greetings from Germany.

[firecatcher]

That resercher's will audio is haunting! Hearing those zombies in the background while he's recording is creepy af! Well done, this is awesome!

[VipersfuryGaming]

If you folks are in need of even more- we are slowly releasing a series here on YouTube. It's done in the same manner as this part of the documentary, and gets more in-depth regarding key aspects of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident. If the link doesn't work, simply search our videos for "The Lost City Files Episode 1".

[Imperator_Invicta]

You are truly gifted, sir. This is better than most conventional documentaries ive seen on Netflix or the like. If youre not already, you should consider a career in media of some format. If nothing else for your masterful editing skills shown here. If I didn't know it was a game id be questioning reality after watching this

[coonplatoon]

Resident evil outbreak was seriously underrated. That intro alone was the best intro in any RE game

[VipersfuryGaming]

Don't be shy about comments, folks! We accept them all, positive or negative! This is the first time I ever created something like this. So if there's anything about it that's off, don't hesitate to say so! Praise is also welcome, too 😂 but seriously, the audience input is GREATLY appreciated. Every comment is being looked at, and most are being responded to. But in regards to any film making mistakes, or things we could have or should have done, let us have it, because this is NOT the last video of this kind we'll be doing!

[BrianPena]

The addition of relevant news clips from the 90's does a great job grounding the documentary in reality. Great job!

[redratcrawford]

this is got professional level all over it... it's like resident evil meets analog horror and a documentary.

[mistlord]

The Resident evil Outbreak intro still brings me chills and tears after so many years. Awesome video!! I bet you put a ton of effort in it! You have a new sub!
