This ‘Ad Infinitum’ Trailer is a Thing of Nightmares
A couple of years back I played 1916: Der Unbekannte Krieg, a free indie horror game set during World War I. The goal was simple: to not get eaten by any of the man-eating robot Velociraptors that had, for reasons I never learned, taken up residence in the trenches I had been tasked with trying to escape. I was never able to escape those trenches, so I guess I’ll have to use the similarly themed Ad Infinitum as my chance to remedy that.
Before I go further, you really should check out this trailer.
They crammed a lot of freaky into those 90 seconds, huh?
That’s Ad Infinitum, a spooky PC game that’s powered by Unreal Engine 4 and set in the trenches of WWI. It follows the story of a solder’s mission to find his lost brother in an unfamiliar world that’s populated by the kinds of things that usually aren’t seen outside of our nightmares.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
