MGM+ Announces Docuseries 'Amityville: An Origin Story'

MGM+ Announces Docuseries ‘Amityville: An Origin Story’

MGM+ and director Jack Riccobono are taking us back to Amityville with the documentary Amytivlle: An Origin Story, which will explore the true story behind the world’s most infamous haunted house tale: the Amityville murders. The project is the first elevated look at every aspect of this wildly layered story about the heinous murder of a family of six that became eclipsed by paranormal controversy. The 1979 blockbuster film, The Amityville Horror, inspired by the book of the same title by Jay Anson, spawned an ever-expanding universe of movies, books, supernatural theories, and horror superfans. But the mass murder behind the hauntings—and its alleged ties to organized crime—left a long trail of questions that have never been fully explored. Rooted in the dark cultural undercurrents of the 1970s, the series features firsthand accounts from witnesses, family members, and former investigators appearing on-camera for the first time. Exclusive archival footage, newly unearthed images, and stunning original photography are woven together into the most

Game Review: 'The Forest Cathedral'

Game Review: ‘The Forest Cathedral’

The name Rachel Carson probably means nothing to you, what about Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane? Well in Whitethorn Games’ The Forest Cathedral players will learn them. The Forest Cathedral is a fictitious telling of real-life marine biologist Rachel Carson and her research into the harmful effects of the bug pesticide DDT was having on the environment. I would like to thank Whitethorn Games for the reviewing opportunity! Onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, The Forest Cathedral‘s controls are limited so there are not a lot of buttons to worry about, most of the game’s action seems to come from the “Little Man” mechanic (a platforming computer game within the game that acts as a terminal to operate machines). The visuals for the game are stunning and beautiful for the most part, you have to keep an eye out for some unnerving things happening in the background. When it comes to the sound, the voice acting is good, but the

Game Review: 'Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse'

Game Review: ‘Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse’

With the successful launch of the remaster of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Koei Tecmo got to work to remaster the fourth game in the Fata Frame game series that originally came out in 2008 in Japan only, disappointing many North American fans (Me included!), but the right has been wronged and now Fata Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is here and I can’t thank Koei Tecmo enough for giving me a chance to review it! Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse follows three characters, Misaki and Ruka, two girls who went missing on the island of Rogetsu with three other friends when they were children, and Choushiro, a police detective who found the girls after they went missing ten years prior to the game’s story. The three are now searching for answers as to what happened on the island and the girls ten years ago, and why the girls are dying one by one. Now onto

Game Review: 'Bendy And The Dark Revival'

Game Review: ‘Bendy And The Dark Revival’

The name Bendy entered the social conciseness back in 2017 thanks to multiple youtube playthrough videos of the quirky and dark tale of the Mickey Mouse-like character Bendy the Demon and the cursed studio that created him. With a heavy viral following that spawned an array of children’s merchandise, it was clear that a sequel had to be made, and I had to dive into this inky rabbit hole. Grab a can of bacon soup, this is Bendy the Dark Revival. I want to thank Joey Drew Studios for the reviewing opportunity! Bendy the Dark Revival takes place in the 1970s when an animator named Audry who while staying late working on a Bendy cartoon, is brought into The Cycle, an alternate cartoonish reality where living animations live thanks to the infamous Ink Machine that’s capable of bringing cartoon characters to life. Audry is now stuck in this hellish world and must fight to find a way out. Now onto

Game Review: 'Grim Guardians: Demon Purge'

Game Review: ‘Grim Guardians: Demon Purge’

Inti Creates has been in the game of making games since 1996 making 2D games for old, current, and new gamers that give the look and feel of old-school action Metroidvania games. Inti Creates was awesome enough to give me the opportunity to give their latest entry in their game library a try, this is Grim Guardians: Demon Purge. Grim Guardians: Demon Purge follows sister demon hunters Shinobu and Maya Kamizono as they’re going to school only to find that their high school has been turned into a demonic castle, the sisters then go into demon-hunting mode and enter the school to save their fellow students as well as unraveling the mystery as to why the demon Kurona has attacked their school. Now onto the game itself! Grim Guardians: Demon Purge‘s controls will have to take some getting used to, especially if you’re not familiar with these kinds of 2d action games (which I’ll admit I’m VERY rusty at playing).
