We crack open Resident Evil (2002) to expose Umbrella Corp’s playbook: a secret underground lab, an AI “Red Queen” that chooses lethal containment over humanity, and a virus that turns a research facility into an underground tomb. By mapping the film’s thrills onto today’s corporate landscape, we explore how shareholder‑driven incentives, corporate personhood, and profit‑first logic can become a real‑world horror story—​a corporate psychopath that “kills” for efficiency.

From the legal roots of corporate personhood (the 14th Amendment) to the documentary The Corporation that diagnoses corporations as psychopaths, we discuss how the Red Queen’s logic is a cautionary AI‑governance tale and a mirror of unchecked corporate power. We finish with concrete steps: building mutual‑aid networks, supporting cooperatives, and demanding transparency to “shoot the corporate head” before the next outbreak.
