PT Teases First Person Horror for Silent Hills

Published

on

 

Silent Hills

The new installment into the massively successful Silent Hill franchise boasts an impressive roster of talent behind it’s creation. Movie directing royalty, Guillermo Del Toro is collaborating with video game genius, Hideo Kojima. If you don’t know of either of these visual masters, Del Toro is the man behind such work as Pacific Rim and Pan’s Labyrinth. If you know of his work you will already be aware that he has vast wells of experience in creating grotesque and fascinating monsters. Kojima was producer and writer of a raft of games in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, many of you will know that this means he is a veteran when it comes to the creation of cinematic, engaging video games.

The fact that Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead is onboard as lead actor is also not to be forgotten. It is interesting that they are going down this road with their voice actors, as often main characters are voiced by professional voice actors. Rarely is a famous actor who has already established themself in a big role on-screen appeared in the leading role of a video game. However this means only good things for Silent Hills, Reedus has secured a large fan base from his role as Daryl in The Walking Dead, a portion of which will follow his career to this game. Not to mention the fact that Reedus is a fantastic actor and used to the horror genre.

A playable teaser or “PT” for short has been released on PS4 recently. Though I do not own a Playstation 4 the teaser is available in full on YouTube, I would recommend watching one of the videos with no commentary as it ruins the atmosphere.

The demo itself is creepy and sinister, do not be mistaken about PT it is no simple jump fest, the Playable teaser for Silent Hills has an uncomfortable and sinister atmosphere. If you have a nervous disposition I would not recommend playing PT, it features not only jump scares but some truly upsetting imagery.

The teaser doesn’t spoil anything for the final game, as it takes place entirely in the corridors of a house. Although, it does leave clues and hints toward the story of the final product. Radio broadcasts tell of terrible events that may be linked to the events of the new Silent Hill game, clues and puzzles are written on the very walls of the environment you explore. The first person aspect to the game definitely adds an extra depth to the game, making the player feel genuine terror at Del Toro and Kojima’s creations.

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
