Bloody ‘Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp’ Images Surface

Published

on

It’s been a little while since anything new has been said or seen about this game coming to PC, XBox One and PS4 and that’s because like a silent stalker in a slasher movie, it strikes when you least expect it!

IGN had an exclusive first look at several screenshots, as well as a little more info, on the upcoming Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp from Publisher Gun. It’s a multiplayer game setting player controlled teen counselors at a summer camp, Camp Forest Green (an obvious homage to Friday the 13th Part VI), as they try to survive against a player controlled stalker, simply called The Killer. The game is clearly an homage to the Friday the 13th series and even has Tom Savini overseeing the gore and Harry Manfredini scoring. The game sounds amazing and is looking to be gory and fun, promising the multiplayer experience gaming and horror fans would expect. IGN continued on to describe the game:

“The Killer utilizes advantages in mobility and an arsenal of weapons to hunt other players across the seemingly-tranquil Camp Forrest Green. He or she will also be able to harness the environment of the camp to use against the Teen Counselors, a concept reminiscent of some of Jason Voorhees more memorable murders like the sleeping bag kill or the gory bathroom face-mirror smash.”

“The Counselors are a group of 6-7 players relying largely on stealth and evasion to survive. The Teens will need to monitor the level of noise they create and search for weapons to fend off The Killer while locating escape vehicles. The Counselors can work together as a team or split up to tackle the situation alone, and the creators promise both paths have risks and rewards.”

“The Camp Forest Green arena is a seemingly-peaceful and rustic retreat concealing a hidden menace. New images depict lakeside shores, gore-streaked canoes, bloodied tents, dimly-lit cabins, and dark pathways through the woods.”

“Beyond the presence of these iconic locales, the developers hope to evoke the spirit of 80s slasher flicks by simulating the low-budget lighting and equipment conditions used to create these movies. The game engine is being designed to replicate the grain, color, and blur typical of a cheap film recording and subsequent VHS transfer.”

VHS damage and grain? Using the environment as a weapon? Being stalked, or stalking, at a shadowy, wooded summer camp? This is the game I have been waiting for my whole life.

As of this time, there is no official release date, but the team hopes to have it out later in 2015. Until then, like a good slasher villain, we will be watching… and waiting!

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
