If Little Nightmares and Dead Space had a baby, it would be Section 9’s End of Abyss, hands down. Over time, I’ve become not-so-much of a fan of top-down games, but this one has won me over. I want to thank Section 9 and Epic Games for the review opportunity and for restoring my faith in top-down games. End of Abyss is a top-down atmospheric dark sci-fi action-adventure where you play as Cel, a combat technician sent deep into an underground facility to uncover what’s happened to those inside and what’s trying to reach her. Now, onto the game itself! The controls for End of Abyss will take a little getting used to, but after a little time, you’ll get used to them. Headphones are a must for this, as they’ll help immerse yourself into the dark world the story is taking you into, along with helping you hear what’s crawling in the dark… There is no true “spoken dialogue,” as the

You Are the Film (Japan, 2026) Official Tubi FrightFest Synopsis from https://frightfest.co.uk/LondoN2026/you-are-the-film.html The long-awaited directorial debut of Makoto Ueda, writer of BEYOND THE INFINITE TWO MINUTES and RIVER. THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO goes wacky Sci-Fi as Shimokitazawa native playwright Madoka and Sangenjaya-based band member Kazuma separately go and see a movie at the Tollywood independent cinema. But in the film, they each see the other person on screen — Madoka is in the film Kazuma is watching, and vice versa. In this impossible multiverse, incidents occur within each other’s stories as both communicate through the screen and work hard to solve the problems that arise in each other’s narratives. Review You Are the Film writer/director Makoto Ueda wrote the screenplays for the excellent time loop science-fiction comedies Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes and River. If you have seen either of those films, you can expect that you will be in for a humorous, touching treat of a genre feature

Gunnar Optics has teamed up with HoYoverse to release a new pair of gaming glasses inspired by their popular free-to-play action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero. These new glasses are inspired by the character Soldier 11 and will be the debut product from this new partnership! For those not familiar with our friends at Gunnar, they specialize in making glasses that have anti-blue light tech. Screens give off blue light that’s invisible to the eyes but can cause strain and fatigue for them. Gunnar’s glasses help block this light to allow those who look at screens all day to work in comfort. Gunnar’s glasses are used by pro e-sport players, gamers, the military, and even animators at DreamWorks. The Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 gaming glasses are a high-wrap shield frame design inspired by Soldier 11’s combat optics. This single-lens frame offers a wide, clear view of the battlefield, whether you’re playing ZZZ or your favorite game. The wired arms rest

With their latest rocket experiment ending in flames n’ failure, Dr. Charles Cargraves (Warner Anderson) and his rocket lovin’ bud, General Thayer (Tom Powers) seek some outside cash to achieve their ultimate goal, sending man to the moon! They soon enlist smooth-talkin’ aeronautics tycoon Jim Barnes (John Archer) to convince his equally loaded peers to invest in the project… and he isn’t afraid to enlist a then-popular animated bird to lend a helping wing (more on this below dear readers!) to that end! Before long the project is complete, but the local populace are having a bitch-fest about the radiation they believe the project will surely release… even though the rocket, the Luna, uses steam propulsion… so our heroes decide to launch the rocket early, because fuck the public, that’s why! With Cargraves, Thayer, et. al. (along with wise-assing substitute radio operator Joe Sweeney (Dick Wesson)) acting as crew, the group soon find themselves in space… but after a hard

After being expelled from Tromaville High School, our highly tatted, skimpily dressed heroines D.d. (Elizabeth D’Ambrosio) and Mercy (Mercedes The Muse, who also wrote and directed the picture… as she did on Troma’s Divide & Conquer as well as many more) try their level-headed best to secure jobs in the real world… but after a series of disastrous work place experiences (at least one of which features that ol’ family fav; un-simulated on-screen pissing) our protagonists discover that a virus is turning horny men’s dicks into monsters (also dicks)… dicks with faces that expel green jizz. As anyone would, they arm themselves with dildo-based weaponry and queef balloons and take to the streets to do battle with those phreaky phalluses as The Super Tromettes! Before long they discover that the virus is man-made and after recruiting new members into their ranks… including the ADHD-riddled roller-skatin’ Hypergirl (split-tongued dynamo Knotty Peach, also from Divide & Conquer) and disabled tech-genius Tekno (Jade

If you’re looking for a psychological techno-thriller to keep you frozen in your theater seat this summer, Focus Features has the perfect cybernetic nightmare lined up. The studio is officially set to unleash Hot Spot in theaters nationwide this August. Directed by Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Smoczyńska (The Lure, The Silent Twins) and penned by Robert Bolesto, the film promises a hypnotic blend of near-future paranoia and classic noir detective fiction. A Meltdown of Identity and Intelligence The film is set in a claustrophobic, near-future society completely governed by a sentient, omnipotent Artificial Intelligence. The narrative follows a weary private investigator who takes on what seems like a routine murder case. However, the investigation quickly derails when he uncovers the tracks of a shadowy rebel faction. It’s an underground group that possesses the exact digital weaponry needed to permanently corrupt and undermine their synthetic digital overlord. As the detective digs deeper into the corporate and technological abyss, the case turns inward.

As artificial intelligence continues to blur the boundaries of truth, upcoming thriller Appofeniacs aims to tap into the ultimate modern paranoia. The film trades classic monsters for digital fabrication. It explores what happens when weaponized deepfakes bleed into the physical world with deadly force. A Party Trick Turned Nightmare The story follows Duke, played by Aaron Holliday, a reckless digital creator who treats identity manipulation like an amusing stunt. Exploiting the human tendency to believe whatever appears on a screen, Duke launches a chain reaction of deceit. And it rapidly spirals out of control across a web of interconnected lives. What starts as digital mischief soon intersects with Poppy (Simran Jehani), who ventures into the desert for a weekend of cosplay and hedonism, alongside the legendary Clinto Binto (Sean Gunn) and an unfortunate outsider named Lazzy (Paige Searcy), who gets swept into the fallout. The Terror of Confirmation Bias Rather than blaming rogue algorithms or sentient code, Appofeniacs aims to
