Bethesda is Playing Fast and Loose With the ‘Doom’ Demo

Published

Demons everywhere are outraged at Bethesda for not sticking to the initial deadline for the free Doom demo, which the publisher originally intended to have available for the duration of E3 week. That plan went ignored due to high demand, its once clearly defined start and end dates twisted into a sort of cruel joke that betrays the devastation inflicted upon those foul creatures for our amusement. Worse yet is the uncertainty our demon brothers and sisters will face as long as the demo remains live with nary a mention made regarding its new end date.

We need to ask ourselves if the war we now wage against the legions of Hell is worth the ecstasy that envelopes your body and soul as you use a rusty chainsaw to tear an Imp’s chest wide open even though you have more than enough ammunition. You don’t do it for the satisfying ammo explosion it brings, no, you do it so you can look into the screaming demon’s dumb ugly face and watch as the light leaves its wee beady eyes.

But seriously, Doom is gory and glorious and absolutely worth playing.

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.
