Released in 2019, Alexandre Aja‘s Crawl put Kaya Scodelario up against a category 5 hurricane and a pack of hungry alligators, and the thrilling mix of action and suspense-horror proved to be a hit with audiences at the box office.

Modder Fluffyquack has graced the Resident Evil series once again, as they’re currently working on a third-person camera mod for the recently-released Resident Evil Village. Not to be confused with DarknessValtier’s quick third-person camera mod (which was first implemented in the Village demo), Fluffyquack has been working to get their mod into a more playable state. Of course, since Village was never really meant to be played from a third-person perspective, there are limitations/difficulties in getting the mod to work properly. As Fluffyquack details, the mod as it stands makes...
