This Monstrous ‘Resident Evil’ Cosplay is All Eyeball
If our eyes are the windows to our soul, then Birkin has lots of soul. You can tell by looking at the grotesque eyeball that appeared on his right shoulder when he injected himself with the G-Virus in Resident Evil 2, eventually turning the brilliant scientist into a creeping mound of flesh and teeth that sort of looked like a spilled plate of day-old lasagna.
The Resident Evil cosplay I have for you today is based on the second of five mutations, which followed the variant we’ve seen numerous times before in Operation Raccoon City and the on-rails Chronicles spin-off series. I doubt we’ll ever see a cosplayer tackle the more monstrous forms that followed the first and most widely known version of our beloved Birkinstein — they only get more complex later on — but if we do, it’ll probably come from Gai.
I’ve featured the works of several talented Resident Evil cosplayers here over the years, but Gai’s Birkin is easily the most technically impressive of the bunch. It’s also exceedingly clever, with Gai’s face taking the place of Birkin’s and a shoulder eye that actually moves.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
