How to unlock the Seeing Red achievement in Resident Evil - Definitive Guide
http://residentevil.wikia.com/Crimson_Head/gameplay
A Crimson head is not any ordinary zombie, but one that is smart enough to fake being dead to catch its prey off guard. The first encounter of a crimson head (if you don't lite one on fire before it attacks you)
Right outside the room next to 2 herbs on the ground is the Crimson head, if you want to get this early or go out of your way to get it you can use the canister on him (attempting to set him on fire) and he will just immediately get up.

Its impossible to miss this one. After a certain points Crimson Heads (new type of zombie) will start to come to life anyways, you can always purposely kill a zombie in a certain area and not burn the body on purpose, this will ensure it comes back as a Crimson Head.

This trophy can be obtained by either character on any difficulty by simply killing a Crimson Head. Most Crimson Heads appear by killing regular zombies and letting their bodies lie for some time (the higher the difficulty, the lower the time requirements). When enough time has passed they’ll arise again with red skin, more attack power, and faster movement speed. Simply kill one to earn this trophy. If you do not want to make a Crimson Head the traditional way; there is one lying on the ground on the 2F West Wing of the Mansion, in front of the doorway that leads to the room with the Armor Key.
Crimson Heads (or V-ACTs) are zombies that you have "killed" that entered a hibernation where their flesh turns crimson red and they grow sharp fingernail-claws. What happens is the host's body shuts down and the T-Virus continues to mutate it, thus bringing it back to life. Killing a Crimson does not cause it to enter further metamorphosis.
The easiest method of dispatching a Crimson is with the shotgun, 1-2 blasts should kill it (around three maximum). If you play it safe and burn zombies you don't kill, there is always at least ONE Crimson who will always be there for you to kill. After obtaining the Canteen and just before going for the Armor Key, there's a body that will stand up as you approach the door. You can kill this Crimson and it be the only one in the game aside from the Crimson Elder.
The Crimson Elder DOES NOT count for this achievement.
