Horror film director claims Resident Evil Village used his monster designs - Rock Paper Shotgun

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.

Making a mini thread of how weirdly similar some of the monster designs are in @RE_Games Resident evil: Village & @RichRaaphorst's Frankenstein's Army (2013).

Dutch film director Richard Raaphorst and fans like Twitterer "CloneKorp" (above) have pointed out multiple similarities between creatures in Frankenstein's Army and Resident Evil Village.

Then they just grab it and put it somewhere in the game.

Raaphorst goes on to say that, while he doesn't expect royalties because he doesn't own rights to the film, he'd at least like a credit in Resident Evil Village.

"If they had asked me, 'Hey, Richard, we'd love to have your design in our next Resident Evil, and we will give you a credit or some kind of royalty payment,' I would have been honoured and flattered and proud.

Elsewhere in weird Resident Evil Village news, Capcom drew a giant chalk werewolf in the English countryside to promote the game, which completely baffled the local newspapers
