Resident Evil Village features some of the most unique monster designs in the franchise, but Frankenstein’s Army director Richard Raaphorst doesn’t find them all that unique. In a post on LinkedIn, the director accused Capcom of stealing a creature design from his film “completely without authorization or credit.” The creature from his film has a propeller for a head, while the design from Resident Evil Village has three chainsaws in a similar design. There are clearly some differences between the two designs, but it’s not difficult to see some similarities, as well! Twitter user @CloneKorp posted the two side-by-side for comparison.
