The Hell of Waiting Ends; Hyper-Violent ‘Agony’ Finally Confirms Release Date

Published

Agony Game

Roughly 2 years ago (though it feels much longer) a trailer was released from YouTube channel Agony Game. More than 547k viewers espied a first person experience of what seemed to be Milton’s scene of the Fall depicted in Paradise Lost.

Plummeting to Hell, a man narrates how he has no memories of what came before, and the torment he bares while existing in the inferno. We’re told there is a way to escape, but it requires a meeting with the Red Queen. This is the first the public commercially hears of Agony.

In time, everyone learns the official game description of Agony:

Agony is a first-person survival horror game currently in development. Players will begin their journey as tormented soul within the depths of hell without any memories about his past. The special ability to control people on their path, and even possess simple minded demons, gives the player the necessary measures to survive in the extreme conditions they are in. By exploring hostile environment and interacting with the other weary souls of the hellscape, the hero will soon understand that there is only one way to escape from Hell, and it will require a meeting of the mystical Red Goddess.

Madmind Studios – a team of compiled developers from different projects (The Division, Witcher 3, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2) – launched Agony‘s Kickstarter 5 months later. The campaign ended (in December of 2016) with a total $182,642.00 collected ($115,976.00 above their goal of $66,666.00).

Their estimated delivery was initially May of 2017, but of course, nothing’s ever simple when it comes to games with as much entertainment potential as Agony (as many can recall the release issues for Mighty No. 9 and Cuphead).

The game has also – unfortunately – run into issues with the vulgar imagery of gore and nudity, resulting in certain versions of the game being banned.

It was only recently that we heard back from Madmind Studios with an announcement trailer for Agony (shared below).

Previously, the survival-horror game was to be released last month, but as of now it will be released on May 29th of this year.

Thanks to meeting multiple stretch goals, Agony will feature “Agony Mode”, a 3D character model viewer, multiple endings, and the game will receive the VR treatment.

For those excited to try out this innovative, horrifying, and delightfully visually disturbing first-person survival-horror title, you can preorder the game for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

For any additional information, feel free to check Agony’s Kickstarter page, Agony’s website, Facebook, and AgonyGame.com.

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.

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.
