A Closer Look at the Monsters of ‘The Evil Within’

Published

Trailer breakdowns are usually something I reserve for games we don’t know much about, since we tend not to know too much about the game at that point. Dissecting a trailer to examine each individual frame can be a great — if a wee bit time-intensive — way to glean some information about an otherwise mysterious title. As we’re about to find out, it can also be a fantastic way to really look at a video, without slapping the pause button when we think we saw something new.

The Evil Within is a good example of this. The game releases next week, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about it, and specifically in regards to its cast of monsters.

We’ve been introduced to the main baddie, Ruvik, as well as the common enemies, called the Haunted. There’s also that big hammer-wielding dude with the safe on his head and Laura, the four-armed blood witch, among others. That’s only a small sampling of the nightmarish creatures Mikami and friends have waiting for us in The Evil Within, and by breaking apart its latest trailer, we can get a better look at a few of them.

But first, here’s that trailer again.

Below you’ll find a gallery of screenshots I took from it. I didn’t capture every interesting bit, as I was more focused on the myriad different monsters Bethesda’s marketing team managed to cram into its three and a half minute-long running time.

The Evil Within is slated to release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

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.
