‘The Tape’ Reveal Trailer Evokes ‘The Ring’
This reveal trailer for The Tape doesn’t waste any time getting weird. It’s strange enough and edited in such a way that it resembles that tape from The Ring that takes a whole week to murder anyone who’s dumb enough to watch it. I have no idea if it resembles the game it’s trying to sell, but it is memorable, and that’s important when you’re competing against dozens of indie developers who are looking to get the word out about their own spooky projects.
The Tape is being developed by Kazakov Oleg, creator of Putrefaction, a horror-themed shooter that released on Steam back in August.
With “found footage stylization, slow pace and creepy atmosphere,” Oleg isn’t relying on cheap scares to get our attention. It follows a detective who’s tasked with finding a missing girl. My favorite thing about this game comes from its Steam description where it lists “Uncover the truth or at least try to escape” as a feature.
As far as player goals go, that’s setting the bar low enough that I’m confident I’ll be able to reach it. Will I escape? Probably not. Will I make an escape attempt? Sure, probably.
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.
