Welcome to a landscape forged in hell, grown from trauma and nurtured by hate.
Makeshift limbs
 |
| Dawn of Fear (2020) |
 |
| Hollow¹ (2007) |
¹ntbcw 2011 film of same name.
 |
| Shiki the Golden Lion - One Piece Prosthetic legs are actually his swords Oto and Kogarashi. |
 |
| The Suffering² (2004) and Ties That Bind³ (2005) Slayers are able to scuttle about on walls and ceilings. |
To quote back inserts.

Mosquito - Frankenstein's Army (2013) vs Prisoner 639 - Tokyo Gore Police (2008)
 |
| Behind Ruka, Key Man's 'pet' has swapped swords for assault rifles. |
On a lighter note.
 |
| Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Crow Fishers walk through the remains of the Green Place. |
 |
| The Dark Crystal (1982) The Gelflings ride Landstriders. |
Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain
The most recognisable monster in The Cabin in the Woods (2011) has a fascinating story to tell.
Pose is reminiscent of the poster for Hellraiser (1987).
And this cheap knock off.
 |
| The Missionary - Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) |
Monstrous form of Claudia Wolf is nothing like boss from Silent Hill 3.
Let's take a closer look at spherical orb.
 |
| Curt (Chris Hemsworth) gives his hands a workout. |
Take away rotating metal rings, and you're left with:
 |
| Gravity Drive - Event Horizon (1997) |
 |
| Silent Hill 4: The Room (2004) |
 |
| Extreme Ghostbusters - Deadliners (S1 E5) - September 1997 Crainiac (along with cohorts Corpuscle and Gristle) are based on the Cenobites. |
Namely, Butterball (left) and Chatterer (right).
Did buzz saw haircut influence the design of Fornicus?
Anything's possible.
Science is Violence
Resident Evil Village (2021) vs Frankenstein's Army⁴ (2013)
⁴ntbcw the similarly sounding and unrelated film Army of Frankensteins (2014).
Heisenberg's Factory
Mechanically-modified test subjects are the result of the infestation of the Cadou parasite.
Soldat Zwei vs Burned Match Man
Soldat Panzer vs Crypt Monster
But the prize obviously goes to:
Sturm vs Propellerhead
Capcom is yet to comment.
I wonder why?
Some may claim boss is a nod to Air Man, who debuted in Mega Man 2 (1988), ntbcw with Mega Man II (1991) on Game Boy.
 |
| Robot does have a cooling fan embedded in its torso. |
Gatecrashing the party.
 |
| V/H/S/94 (September 2021) Deranged scientist James Suhendra sedates a man, dubbing him Subject 98, who subsequently goes a murderous rampage. |
More. More. More.
 |
| Gatling Goblin - Labyrinth (1986) |
 |
| The Park (2015) |
 |
| Mad God⁵ (2021) |
⁵Film took over 30 years to make and prior to its release, stop-motion supremo Phil Tippett had a mental breakdown and was admitted to a psychiatric ward.

Miscellany
Rabid (2019) vs Sugarplum Fairy - TCITW
Here's another mouthy bastard.
 |
| Leviathan - Supernatural (debuted in S7, September 2011) |
Killer Robot - TCITW vs Virus #4 (1993)
Comic was adapted into a film in 1999, which Jamie Lee Curtis called an "all time piece of shit".
There was also a novelisation and a tie-in video game Virus: It Is Aware (which had had practically nothing to do with cinematic counterpart).
Undercover Cops (1992)
Set in the same post-apocalyptic universe as In the Hunt, Air Duel and GunForce II, Irem's classic side-scrolling brawler spills visceral gore.
New York City, 2043.
City Sweepers (Zan, Matt and Rosa) are sent to take down insane scientist Dr. Crayborn and his army of eccentric cronies.
Most enemies are human, others not.
 |
| Gunpuncher aka Moguralian |
 |
| Madca |
Experiments are Frankenstein's Army-esque don't you think?
Viewpoint (1992)
Even today, graphics and superb hip hop soundtrack still kick serious ass. The other thing I remember about 'Zaxxon on crack' is 74 meg Neo Geo AES cart costing £225 (equivalent to about £595 today).
Chicken feed, right?
Anyway, check out some bizarre similarities to Crab boss.
Virus #2 (1993)
It's like artist literally took a photograph.
And after destroying outer casing.
Key Man - Tokyo Gore Police
Exposed brains mounted on pseudo goggles?
HA HA HA!
For the record, Viewpoint 2064 was announced in 1999, but N64 sequel (with prototype clearly modelled on Star Fox) was ultimately cancelled.
