While all of these Resident Evil fan films/shorts are done with heart, fighting zombies and evil corporations doesn’t always have to be serious business. That’s certainly the case with the fan-based web series “S.T.A.R.S”, dark comedy take on Resident Evil has released two episodes so far, with more in the works.
Currently, the series is slated for 15 planned episodes, but there are also several gag reels and trailers to watch. The series is being penned by Michael Young, who has previously worked on other parody videos for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom involving YouTuber Maximilian Dood.
The “S.T.A.R.S.” series takes place two years before the events of the first Resident Evil, and don’t appear to have a continuous plot (so far). For example, the first episode involves two agents working for Umbrella Corporation making a startling discovery about their assigned target, while the second episode has Albert Wesker getting his next big assignment from his former partner and new Supervisor, Holden.
While the videos do have an low budget feel in terms of production quality, it’s more than made up for with the amount of love that Michael Young and his crew have put into these shorts. These are definite fans of the series. And hey, if you’d like to show some love to these guys, check out their Patreon to help support the future episodes.
