If you were poking around Kickstarter a few years ago, you might have come across Bleak Faith: Forsaken, an open-world survival horror action RPG from Mišo Vukčević. Vukčević has finally announced that the game will finally see a release later this year for PC on Steam, with versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a later date. While the dev team have admittedly not been updating the official site as much as they can (development and all), much of the info for Bleak Faith comes from the Kickstarter page:...

Licensed games used to get a lot of flack for their shoddy production value and rushed development cycles, but that doesn’t mean they were all bad. Sometimes, passionate developers and the clever use of beloved IPs can be enough to overcome limited budgets and impossible deadlines, resulting in quite a few hidden gems even in the gaming industry’s least-favorite releases. That’s why we’ve decided to compile this list ranking 10 of the best licensed horror games, as there’s a lot of fun to be had with some of these interactive...

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (read Meagan’s review) is coming to theaters and HBO Max on June 4, 2021, and the final trailer today previews the return of Ed and Lorraine. This time around, they’re heading into the 1980s for one hell of a wild true story… “The Devil Made Me Do It reveals a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even experienced real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for...

Predatory Pussy. May has been all over the place for Horror Queers. We began with super underrated DTV Mirror Mirror, stirred controversy with The Faculty (they’re all queer people – get over it), and revisited the legacy of Saw in time for Spiral‘s theatrical debut. Now we’re dipping our toe into modelling with Nicolas Winding Refn‘s The Neon Demon (2016). In the film, ingenue Jesse (Elle Fanning) arrives in Los Angeles and immediately causes a stir among the modelling community. Not only does she attract the attention of every creepy male, including...

Those of you who spent your college nights playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, the free-to-play team-based multiplayer spin-off from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, probably remember that the game was originally to include a single player campaign that unfortunately never saw the light of day. Lucky for us, Dark Matter Productions’ William Faure, author of the The Dark Army: Uprising mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, has announced that after years of waiting, his intentions to give Enemy Territory‘s single player campaign the love it deserves. Slated for release on November 19th...

Once again, fans are coming to the rescue for the Fallout series, as modding group The United West Team have revealed that they’re currently working on “Revelation Blue”, a remake of the cancelled Fallout 2 sequel, Van Buren. For those unaware, former Fallout series developer Black Isle Studios way back when was working on a sequel to Fallout 2, codenamed Van Buren. The game was to utilize a fully 3D engine, as well as a combination real-time/turn-based combat mechanic. Sadly, the game was cancelled in 2003, and the Black Isle...

Although a perfectly valid criticism to make, it often seems like people hurl accusations of ‘’tonal inconsistency’’ at any piece of media that dares to experiment with more than one flavour. I cannot tally the number of reviews I’ve come across where a movie has been attacked for having a serious moment followed by a joke a few scenes later, as if that’s some kind of cardinal sin.   Granted, you don’t want your storytelling to be devoid of artistic unity (i.e., the original cut of Justice League). Yet, generally speaking, it’s...

Funko is finishing off the final day of “Funkoween” on a high note, taking to Twitter this afternoon to give us our first look at a brand new Trick ‘r Treat vinyl toy that’s on the way. This particular Sam toy is different than Funko’s other Trick ‘r Treat offerings because it depicts the lovable pumpkin boy *without* his mask, flashing a mischievous smile. Sam is also holding his trademark weapon, a deadly pumpkin lollipop. The new toy is a Hot Topic exclusive, up for pre-order now!...

Leatherface is no stranger to the Funko POP! family, with a couple different toys already out there, but his original look from 1974 is getting a brand new toy this coming August. Put up for grabs tonight as part of “Funkoween,” this latest Leatherface toy is based on Gunnar Hansen’s portrayal of the character in Tobe Hooper’s original slasher classic. A mini Leatherface keychain is also available, with the brand new design. You can pre-order yours today through Amazon....

This year’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw marked a return to the Saw franchise not only for director Darren Bousman but also writers Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, who previously wrote 2017 sequel Jigsaw. This time around, they worked alongside Chris Rock to rejuvenate the franchise with a Jigsaw-less sequel, which went through several different iterations. In fact, there was one point in time where the movie that ultimately became Spiral was actually going to be a follow-up to Jigsaw that was entirely centered on John Kramer. We had...

Funko has released a couple different toys of Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams over the years, and up next they’re paying tribute to The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi’s original classic! Shown off tonight as part of the ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two different Ash figures from the original movie are on the way, a standard version and a bloody chase variant. This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Evil Dead‘s release, and an action figure based on Ash’s appearance in the movie is also on the way from NECA later this...

Time loops and death have become increasingly popular as plot devices in media. From Happy Death Day to Russian Doll and Returnal, the act of replaying the same day over and over has a surprising amount of variety to it. Arkane (Dishonored, Prey) is the latest to take a stab at it, and judging from what I’ve seen of it in action; it’s going to be a loop I won’t want to leave. Deathloop is what Arkane boils down to (quite unapologetically) ‘Dishonored with guns’ and that concept alone intrigues,...

Technically part of the Conjuring Universe, 2019’s folklore-based The Curse of La Llorona paved the way for director Michael Chaves to take the reigns from James Wan for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and now La Llorona is joining the Funko family. Announced tonight as part of Funko’s ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two different La Llorona vinyl toys are on the way, one of which is a Limited Chase Edition with yellow eyes. The standard toy, on the other hand, depicts La Llorona with a veil over her...
