The star-ship Pandora is hauling ass back to earth with an alien energy orb called Thanatos in tow. As fate would have it, their journey is interrupted by a distress signal from a craft that has been ransacked by space pirates (who enter the Pandora posing as the miniskirt and platform boots clad survivors themselves). The ruse doesn’t last long, and when push comes to shove Thanatos’ orb is cracked, and people start turning into zombie-like mutants. Before long the survivors are up to their asses in monsters and mayhem as they try and escape the interstellar hell in which they’ve found themselves! Plaguers is one hell of an independent gem, let me tell ya! Why does this flick succeed, well the reasons are numerous. For one, the cast is strong, with genre stalwart Steve Railsback (Lifeforce) turning in a solid (if derivative by necessity… more on that in a bit) performance, and Alexis Zibolis is strong as well as

McElroy, the writer of the original Wrong Turn, wrote The Foundation, directed by Mike P.

Filming in Ohio has now wrapped and according to Movieweb, “The story will follow a new group of young friends venturing through the woods of the Appalachian Trail where they apparently take a wrong turn and come across a hidden society of people who’ve been living in the mountains for hundreds of years. Called “The Foundation,” this new group seems to be different in many ways from the inbred killers we remember from the other movies.” As soon as the 2020 premiere date is announced we’ll let you know.

German indie game developer Mooneye Studios allowed me the honor to take a crack at Lost Ember, their debut game. This third-person adventure game takes you the adventure of a wolf with the ability to shape-shift into other animals as you explore lands once occupied by a civilization of people called the Yanrana.
