‘The 7th Guest’ to Become Web Series!
My family was a little bit late in getting a real desktop computer. We had the Apple IISE for a while but that thing could barely run anything, let alone a game. No, it took until I was about 8 or 9 until we got a full system. It was one of those hulking behemoths that took up vast amounts of space but, god dammit, it was awesome! And along with the computer came a game that would become a huge part of my childhood: The 7th Guest.
The point-and-click horror puzzle game challenged not only my wits and intelligence but also my fear and terror. The story of Tad and his terrifying adventures in the Stauf Mansion was one that stuck with me and I replayed the game over and over again, relishing the pervasive horror atmosphere. I also did the same with the sequel, The 11th Hour, which was a far darker game.
Today I learned that the series is coming back in a new way via a web series! Directed by John Johnson and executively produced by Rob Landeros, the 10-episode series is being created by Darkstone Entertainment in association with Trilobyte Games, the creators of the original games, and production begins in March.
Confirmed to appear in the series are James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) and, be still my heart, Robert Hirschboeck, who played Henry Stauf in the original games!
Below is a teaser trailer for the series and you can learn more about it, including buying the season pass which allows you to watch it 2 weeks before release, at the official website.
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.
