Of Flesh and Blood- Dead By Daylight’s Newest Expansion

Published

on

Dead By Daylight is a bloody fantastic indie game that has taken the horror community by storm. For those of you who are unaware Dead By Daylight is essentially a playable slasher film.  It follows a 4 V 1 formula with one player as the killer and the rest as fodder.

Since launch, the developers behind Dead By Daylight have been regularly releasing new maps, killers, and survivors in the form of extra DLC for the game.  One such DLC added Haddonfield and Michael Myers as a playable killer with unique abilities.  The newest expansion to drop, Of Flesh and Mud, also adds a new map, killer, and a new survivor.

The new killer is known as The Hag, and is shown off to be some sort of undead witch doctor.

The Hag’s unique ability is the Phantasm trap.

She draws runes into the mud of the swamp and uses them to create a shadow copy of herself to scare off the survivors from completing their objectives.  Also with the newest DLC a new game play mechanic has been added as well, the hex totems.

The hex totems are used by the killer to weaken the survivors in order to make them easier prey.  The Hags perks also revolve around the hex totems, creating interesting new mechanics.

Ace is the new survivor that is added in the Of Flesh and Blood expansion.

Ace is described as being heavily reliant on his unnatural luck, and this trait carries over into his perks.

When looting chests Ace has a passive ability that sometimes spawns in an additional uncommon or lower rarity item on top of whatever item would already be found within the chest.  The rest of Ace’s abilities are equally luck based and serve as a balance to The Hag and her hope crushing abilities.

The new map also added is simply known as Backwater Swamp.  While not the most creative name out there it is concise and to the point.

Dead By Daylight is a fun little indie horror game that has been a hit since launch.

The developers have been creating original characters and releasing them as the previous season draws to a close.

They were even able to obtain the rights to Michael Myers from Halloween.

Adding him as a playable character in an additional DLC package.  

Dead By Daylight is a blast to play with random players or friends alike. It is definitely worth checking out on steam for those who haven’t already.

 

And if you still need your horror fix for the day be sure to check out the new trailer for the sequel to the ‘Meatball Machine’. Also check out the newest news on the upcoming Friday The 13th game with the triumphant return of fan favorite character Tommy Jarvis.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

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.
