Earlier in the week, we mentioned Prime Matter and developer Massive Work Studio’s upcoming cosmic horror action-RPG Dolmen would be debuting its gameplay during Gamescom.

SpookWare, a horror riff on WarioWare was one of my favorite horror game experiences when it was released last year, and now, creator Adam Pype (who also made the creepy No Players Online) and his team has built on that brief slice and made a fully-fledged road trip adventure game stacked with more mini-game madness.

Content Warning: this editorial contains explicit details about suicide. This article also includes spoilers for The Night House.

In Bride of Frankenstein, Dr. Pretorius, played by the inimitable Ernest Thesiger, raises his glass and proposes a toast to Colin Clive’s Henry Frankenstein—“to a new world of Gods and Monsters.” I invite you to join me in exploring this world, focusing on horror films from the dawn of the Universal Monster movies in 1931 to the

From the moment that the very first humans settled in the very first city, they were already sharing scary stories. What we now know as urban legends are simply the natural progression of a primal urge to make sense of society’s fears, a fact that Clive Barker was aware of when he wrote The Forbidden,

While plenty of indie developers have captured the essence of survival horror as it was on the original PlayStation, far fewer have managed to do so with the PlayStation 2 era of the sub-genre. This was arguably the peak of it at the time. Those few precious years, before the impact of Resident Evil 4

As with the rerelease of any game celebrating more than a decade’s worth of birthdays, I went into this remastered version of Quake; the iconic, important evolution of the first-person shooter, fearing it may have been dulled by the cruel swing of time. Thankfully, I feel foolish for ever doubting it. Quake still rules 25

For a franchise with such inconsistent efforts as a movie series, one would have to call the Alien video games “on brand” for being just about as unpredictable over the years. Aliens Fireteam Elite has the unenviable task of coming after a broken mess of a shooter in Colonial Marines and a beloved horror that

When it comes to unrelentingly bleak and suspenseful thrillers, South Korean cinema reigns supreme. Especially when serial killers enter the equation, with a cat and mouse chase that’ll leave all parties irrevocably changed. Kwon Oh-seung‘s debut feature, Midnight, enters the pantheon of breathless thrillers, delivering a propulsive, unpredictable film that’s lighter than most of its ilk

No matter how you feel about the sequels, reboots and spin-offs, there’s no denying that the first Ghostbusters captured lightning in a bottle in a way that not even the original team could replicate.

Everything about the premise of writer/director Rob Jabbaz’s feature debut reads like another formulaic zombie or outbreak horror that’s become overly familiar in the wake of our real-time pandemic. It quickly becomes apparent that The Sadness refuses to adhere to the average viral horror movie. Jabbaz keeps a death grip on the pulse of the
