‘The Evil Within’ Gore Mode DLC Isn’t Very Effective
In July, the Gorehounds of Japan found out they were getting screwed when Bethesda revealed their plans to release a version of The Evil Within — called Psycho Break in Japan — with its red and squishy bits censored. The reasoning behind this was to guarantee a Cero D rating, which can be purchased by folks 17 and older, whereas the gory version would’ve received a Cero Z rating limiting its audience to those aged 18+.
For a version of the game with gore intact, Bethesda offered special “Gore Mode” DLC that was supposed to remove all that pesky censorship so The Evil Within could be experienced the way Mikami and friends intended.
Unfortunately, this DLC doesn’t seem to be entirely effective.
As Famitsu points out in their comparison of the “uncensored” Japanese version of The Evil Within with the Western version, the efficacy of this DLC leaves a lot to be desired.
The Evil Within is available now on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

‘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.
