Watch As Garcia F**king Hotspur Takes On A Really Big Bird
The game I’ve been foaming at the mouth for since 2005, the title I said could redefine the horror genre is a little less than a week away from jumping into my bosom. The more I see of Shadows of the Damned the less I can consider it a real horror title, instead I’d compare it to a punk rock hipster with a mean ‘tude and a tendency for brutal murder. At the very least the game has some of my favorite people behind it, including Goichi Suda (No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill composer), so I have serious doubts that this game will be anything less than good fun. The following video looks pretty good – I’ve never been a fan of birds, all flying high like they’re better than everyone else.
That machine gun with the tendrils looks like it’ll be my one of my favorites, if only so I can bust down a door leading to a group of unsuspecting monsters before exclaiming loudly, “Say ‘ello to my lil frien’!” and tearing their shit up with my badass machine gun. Yeah, this game is going to rock. Shadows of the Damned releases on June 21st, and good thing too, because I don’t know how much longer I can wait.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
