‘Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh’ Journeys to El Chacal

Published

on

In August, indie developer Saibot Studios released the fourth chapter in their twisted Doorways series of horror games with the memorably titled Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh. That’s the sort of title I’d expect to see embossed on a Clive Barker novella, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the team behind it had drawn at least a modicum of inspiration from Barker’s work with how disturbing these games can often get.

The three acts that make up Holy Mountains of Flesh — The School, The Mansion and The Temple — are all connected by El Chacal, which serves as the game’s hub world. This “group of floating islands over fire and magma, in a desolated world of flames” is now something you can visit.

Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh is available now on Steam Early Access for $9.99.

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.
