The director of the 2013 found footage horror film Frankenstein s Army has accused Capcom of using one of his monster designs in Resident Evil Village. I won t say too much more before the cut, because there are big spoilers for the game (and the film, I guess) in this post. But I will say: I did a little giggle when I saw the monster. I m sorry, maybe it s very scary with more context around it. You tell me Resi players and Frankie s Army watchers: do these beasts give you The Fear?
This poor man clearly got his head caught in a propeller and he just needs some help.
Richard Raaphorst, the director of 2013 horror film
Frankenstein’s Army, has accused Capcom of plagiarizing his monster designs from the film in
Resident Evil Village. As spotted by GamerPress, Raaphorst vented his frustration on LinkedIn, where he shared images that show how eerily similar the Sturm boss design is to a creature from his film. Over on Twitter, Twitch streamer CloneKorp pointed out that several
Resident Evil Village creatures bear a striking resemblance to those in
Frankenstein’s Army. You can check out the comparison thread by clicking the tweet below.
