A talented UK-based prop maker has brought Resident Evil Requiem’s most horrific monster to life with her latest project.
Instagram user Littlejem built a life-sized animatronic of The Girl, the terrifying abomination in Capcom’s latest survival-horror title which relentlessly pursues protagonist Grace Ashcroft.
The complex process involved her carving up and re-assembling a giant Halloween skeleton model, bolting together PVC pipes, wires, cardboard, and expanding foam, and applying and sculpting foam clay, tissue paper and latex.

In her second video, Littlejem demonstrates how she made the creature’s haggard dress and painted and spraybrushed all of the intricate details. The end result is truly stunning and horrifyingly realistic.

Littlejem is also a talented cosplayer, and took the opportunity to transform herself into Grace to create some amazing photos.

This isn’t Littlegem’s first foray in making incredible gaming-based props, as last year she made an unbelievably accurate, life-sized King of Red Lions boat from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Not only does its animatronic-operated head animate like it does in-game, it was actually sailable, too!
We have some advice on how to deal with The Girl in our spoiler-free Requiem guide, which features 10 tips the game doesn’t tell you.
Resident Evil Requiem is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. We said in our review: “Resident Evil may be revisiting the past with this latest entry, but for the most part, it manages to avoid its previous mistakes – and more importantly, capitalizes on what the series does best.”
