‘Iron Fish’ Will Make You Fear the Ocean
I love how much attention developers have been giving to the deep blue lately. Outer space, asylums and post-apocalyptic landscapes are sufficiently spooky settings that I’ll always enjoy ridding of monsters, ghosts and zombies, but I appreciate the attempt to give us some variety. There’s also the very obvious fact that the ocean is goddamn terrifying. We still haven’t seen most of it, especially the deeper parts that are almost certainly the home of an Elder God or some Kraken-esque creature.
The latest attempt to make us fear the ocean again comes from Iron Fish, an indie horror game about a murderous robot fish that crushes lesser fish under its heavy metal body because it’s angry at its creator for not giving it the ability to love.
That’s not even a little true. Iron Fish is really about a deep sea investigator named Cerys who’s been tasked with exploring the darkest depths of the ocean using the most state-of-the-art equipment. According to the game’s Steam Greenlight page, the story will blur the lines between “science and the supernatural.”
You know what that means. Ghost fish.
Iron Fish is scheduled for a late 2015 release on PC.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
