Resident Evil 4 was released by Capcom in 2005 and reshaped survival horror with its over-the-shoulder camera, village setting and relentless enemies. Its opening music quickly became recognisable to players who spent hours in that world, and clips of it later spread across soundboards, video edits and streaming intros. Fans still reach for the classic start because it instantly signals Resident Evil, even to viewers who have never played the game, and because its slow, unsettling tone fits modern horror content just as well as it did on release.
