‘Killing Floor’ is Getting a Live-Action Short Film!
At a Killing Floor 2 preview event held earlier this week, Tripwire Interactive announced their plans to release a live-action short film based on their hit horror series titled Killing Floor: Uncovered. The film is being crafted by Type AB, the studio that brought us the 2014 horror short Delivery: The Beast Within. I had the chance to see an early cut of the film’s trailer, which seems to take some inspiration from Resident Evil and Doom.
Similar to the teaser for Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the trailer starts off as a faux commercial for Horzine Biotech, the corporation in Killing Floor that’s responsible for the monsters you spend so much time mowing down in the game. When the video feed gets the disrupted, it transitions to some first person footage of a man with a gun as tries to shoot his way through a room filled with ZEDs.
I was only given a brief look at Killing Floor: Uncovered, but it was enough to get my attention. It certainly looks interesting, and after enduring some spectacularly awful Dead Space animated films I’m glad they’re taking the live-action approach.
The film doesn’t have a release date yet, but I imagine they’ll want to get it out around the same time that Killing Floor 2 releases. Until then, enjoy these stills from the trailer!

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
