Let’s Talk About ‘Umbrella Corps’

Published

Today, Capcom made good on their promise to bombastify their flagship horror franchise for the Call of Duty audience with the very first trailer for Call of Evil: Umbrella Warfare Umbrella Corps.

I’m getting strong F.E.A.R. Online vibes from this bizarre new addition to the Resident Evil series. I can’t see it being that bad, but what would be the best possible outcome here? I’m also struggling to understand the reasoning behind celebrating the 20th anniversary of a survival horror series with a multiplayer shooter that has no obvious ties to the genre.

I thought we had moved pass this. So much good has happened this year, with the stellar Resident Evil remaster and surprisingly progressive Revelations 2, and that good work was to continue into 2016 and beyond with the Resident Evil 0 remaster and the Resident Evil 2 remake.

Will Capcom ever get over the creepy obsession they have for the shooter crowd?

Umbrella Corps might surprise me, and I’ll be the first to find a way to call it umbrelievably awesome in my inevitable review. It might also be dead on arrival, making it more of an Umbrella… Corpse (sorry). Either way, we’re getting a new Resident Evil. Sort of. Okay, not really.

We don’t know enough right now for me to spend too much time whining about it. I’m more interested in getting your first impressions, anyway. So, what do you think?

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
