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.

More, please.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
