Game Review: Next Gen Port Of 'Risen'

Game Review: Next Gen Port Of ‘Risen’

Back in 2009, a game launched a series of “Gothic RPGs” and developed a cult following, that game is Risen, and today it’s been brought to 2023 by being ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Did the port work Or should have Risen stayed in 2009? I would like to thank THQ Nordic for the reviewing opportunity! Risen is about an unnamed character who ends up washed ashore on an island that’s under the control of Inquisitors and inadvertently frees titans. Now onto the game itself! The control layout for Risen is quite… overly complex. Pretty much every button does something and not what you think it should do. I’ve also noticed a lack of proper tutorial resulting in me having to wing it for a good majority at the start. This makes combat a bit difficult as the game throws you into scenarios where you have to fight. As I’ve played I also noticed that Risen

Grab You Valentine And Binge New Horror On Shudder This February

Movie Review: ‘Skinamarink’ Isn’t For Everyone

After making 67x its $15,000 budget in its first week in theaters and receiving an expanded release, Skinamarink has become a viral sensation. I sat down to watch it, not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into, only knowing that it was being described as an “experimental horror.” The movie’s synopsis goes like this: “Two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing, and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. To cope with the strange situation, the two bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party. They play well-worn videotapes of cartoons to fill the house’s silence and distract from the frightening and inexplicable situation. All the while in the hopes that, eventually, some grown-ups will come to rescue them. However, it becomes clear that something is watching over them after a while.” The movie plays out with strange shots of

Kevin Smith Hosting Q&A At Premiere Of Troma’s ‘Eating Miss Campbell’

Troma’s Eating Miss Campbell is about to begin its theatrical run, with “Silent Bob” himself, Kevin Smith, hosting the premiere. Both director Liam Regan and producer Lloyd Kaufman will also be in attendance for a Q&A. Eating Miss Campbell “follows a vegan-goth high school student who falls into a taboo relationship with her new English teacher and soon develops a problematic taste for human flesh.” The movie features a cast of genre favorites, including Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede sequels), Lyndsey Craine (Book of Monsters), Vito Trigo (My Bloody Banjo), and Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger), with an original score composed by Oscar® winner Joe Renzetti (Child’s Play, Poltergeist III & Frankenhooker). “Heavily Influenced by the work of producer Lloyd Kaufamn, filmmaker Liam Regan has crafted a British Troma film where teenage crushes and cannibalism collide, a gut-busting and gore-soaked comedy horror that pushes about every boundary socially constructed.” Eating Miss Campbell premieres on Saturday, February 11th, at Smodcastle

The Zombies In HBO's "Last Of Us" Are Based On Something Real!

The Zombies In HBO’s “Last Of Us” Are Based On Something Real!

Odds are, by now, you’ve seen the first couple of episodes of the “Last of Us” adaptation, and let’s be honest, it’s fantastic! “The series is set twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.” Right off to bat, you are probably wondering about the show’s gnarly zombies. The zombie infection is not a virus that morphed like we’ve seen in movies and series a thousand times. Instead, we get these crazy fungi-face creatures created by a fungus, Cordyceps, to be exact. Now here’s the terrifying part: Cordyceps are a very real thing. In reality, Cordyceps, a parasitic fungus, infects its hosts, usually small insects, turning them into real-life zombies by controlling their host’s actions,
