‘Vampyr’ To Be Made Into A TV Series

FOX21 and DONTNOD Entertainment have reached an agreement allowing FOX21 to make a television series based on the game, “Vampyr” that came out back in June. We believe it is a fantastic premise for a television show. This is a new and exciting way for fans of the game, as well as the uninitiated, to enter and engage with VAMPYR’S rich, deep story.” Says DONTNOD CEO Oskar Guilbert, “We cannot wait to see how the talented team at FOX21 will bring out the darkly atmospheric universe of our game into television.” We are delighted to partner with FOX21 for the adaptation of VAMPYR into a TV series. DONTNOD has created a uniquely dark, immersive world with deep narration, which has made VAMPYR already a modern video game classic.” Agrees Jurgen Goeldner, CEO of Focus Home Interactive. “Vampyr” follows the tale of Dr. Jonathan Reid who became a vampire during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 in which somehow many citizens

New Difficulty Update Coming Soon For ‘Vampyr’

Later this summer, fans of the blood-sucking RPG, “Vampyr” will see a new update to the game, a difficulty setting. The game’s difficulty depends on the actions players take to earn XP to raise the stats of Jonathan Reed, the game’s protagonist. Players can earn XP by fighting enemies, locating documents, talking with London citizens, and completing side missions but if you want to earn a lot of XP quickly you can “embrace” (suck the blood) of characters you meet along the way but by doing so can affect events in the game. The new difficulty will affect how players can earn XP, through combat you will earn little to none, making the temptation greater to feed on the citizens of London. Because of this new update, it would make the gameplay more about the narrative of the story. The update will be in effect on all gaming devices and in preparation for the update, “Vampyr” is 25% off on

Blu-ray Review: The Addiction (1995)

Kathleen (Lili Taylor), a philosophy student livin’ in the concrete jungle of 1990’s Manhattan, is dragged into an alleyway one night by Casanova (Annabella Sciorra) and given a little love nibble…you know, the kind usually reserved for rabid wolves and the like. Of course the bite makes her sick to her shit, and it doesn’t take much to assume she’s turning into one of Dracula’s daughters (aversion to sunlight, thirst for human blood, et.al.). As Kathleen falls further into her new role as creature of the night and begins injecting blood from her victims directly into her veins before going the more toothy avenue. Will she be able to find herself as her being becomes drenched in blood? Filmed in stark black and white, which adds an air of cold grittiness (especially when photographs of human atrocity are inserted) and at times beautiful chiaroscuro (as echoed by the classical paintings on display), The Addiction is a visually arresting film to

Making The Streets Run Red: Review Of ‘Vampyr’

DontNod and Focus Home Interactive gave me the opportunity to play their horror game, “Vampyr”. The game is about Dr. Jonathan Reid, a prominent surgeon who specializes in blood transfusions who recently has become a vampire. Reid is back home in London after the Great War and the Spanish flu epidemic has started to spread and vampires are joining in on the killing. The game is in third-person giving you the chance to see around your environment perfectly. As you explore London, you are able to use a vampire vision mechanic that allows you to see blood trails that lead you to find clues as well as little rat morsels you can eat! You can find hideouts where you can upgrade Reid’s weapons as well as his perks. The points you can use are where the main point of the game comes in, you can earn points by talking to people, investigations etc, but if you want a lot of

Movie Review: Habit (2017)

Ol’ Michael (Elliot James Langridge) really knows how to multi-task as he divides his time pretty damn equally between the unemployment office and the local watering hole. Enter Lee (Jessica Barden) into that pulse pounding scenario; a young waif of a woman who immediately takes up residence in Mike’s flat following which our heroes have a series of drunken misadventures before arriving at Lee’s Uncle Ian’s (William Ash) establishment wherein Lee gets a wad of cash and Mike eventually ends up getting a job manning the door of the “massage parlor” (after witnessing a customer expiring from a slashed throat). Our hero isn’t long on the job before he realizes the name of the game is a bit more than the normal rub and tug; rather these ladies and their boss are rather hungry…hungry for human flesh, and Mikey may be of the same ilk! Habit is a strange one my fiends. It operates under the same sort of rules

Elizabeth Bathory – The Blood Countess

For the most part, I try (especially in this series of articles concerning serial killers and mass murderers) to stick to the facts. I am of the opinion that these people’s deeds and lives are spicy enough without tarting them up with fantastical myths, rumors and opinions. With that disclaimer, the focus of today’s article has her life so twisted and ensnared by folklores and guesswork that it is hard to syphon through what is real and what is legend. I have corroborated with multiple sources and weeded out the obvious falsities to give the best possible outline of this The Blood Countess. It is rare to find a woman as vicious Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed. I do not know why women masochists and murderers are not as prevalent as men– maybe they are simply smart enough not to get caught and be awarded with grim notoriety, or maybe they don’t act upon the blood lust that their male
