Fan-made films are often a mixed bag, but for every raving manifestation of one unhinged fan’s obsession and every painfully poor Lego “remake”, there is a high-production gem like the Resident Evil First Hour series, which has been produced by Cosmic Mutt Pictures and directed by former Wc contributor Ross Peacock, alongside April Choi, who wrote the series.
