Chandler Riggs, known best for his role as Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead, stars in the fan film ‘Biohazard’ as Ethan Winters, a new adaptation of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. He also wrote, directed, and edited the short film.

The film looks quite good, and according to its YouTube description, it was made with practical sets, stunts, and effects, with minimal VFX work and no AI.

Greg Nicotero, who is a special effects artist and was a producer and director on The Walking Dead, provided special effects equipment for Biohazard.

You can watch the Biohazard fan film on YouTube on both the “Spooky Feet Films” channel and on the “chandler riggs” channel.
