Resident Evil 7 fan movie mini-review – Chandler Riggs proves Capcom could make an actual RE movie if it really wanted

Chandler Riggs’s 19-minute fan film adapts part of Resident Evil 7, following Ethan as he encounters the Baker family and tries to escape their home. The review praises its faithful recreation of the game and convincing practical effects, suggesting it shows how an official Resident Evil film could work.

The film features Riggs as Ethan and recreates scenes involving Jack, Marguerite and Lucas, including the family’s disturbing dinner and the garage. Its atmosphere and details are praised, though the shift away from the game’s first-person perspective makes it scary in a different way. The reviewer says its main weakness is its brief runtime: much of the story is left out and the ending feels abrupt.
