Chandler Riggs, known for his role as Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead, has directed and starred in a fan film adaptation of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard titled Biohazard. The 20-minute project, which focuses on the game's tense garage encounter between protagonist Ethan Winters and antagonist Jack Baker, has achieved an IMDb rating of 8.3 out of 10. This score surpasses the 7.6 rating currently held by Zach Cregger's official Resident Evil film.
Riggs stars as Ethan Winters in the fan film, with Jason Douglas portraying Jack Baker. The adaptation aims to capture the tension, violence, and grotesque horror characteristic of the Resident Evil 7 experience, focusing on a single memorable sequence rather than attempting to adapt the entire game. Supporting roles include Mary Rachel Quinn as Marguerite Baker, Eugenie Bondurant as Eveline, Johnathan O'Neil as Deputy Anderson, and Sam Coyles as Lucas Baker.
Released online on October 14, Biohazard has been met with positive reception from fans. Riggs has expressed interest in continuing his work within the Resident Evil universe, stating in an interview with IGN that he would be open to creating a feature-length adaptation of Resident Evil 7. He also indicated a willingness to collaborate with Zach Cregger on future projects within the franchise, though Cregger has previously voiced reservations about returning to the series due to fan backlash.
The fan film Biohazard is available to watch for free on YouTube.
