‘Doom’ Concept Art Has Monsters To Kill
I’ve just wrapped up a Doom-themed weekend in a desperate, and ultimately successful, attempt to review the latest one before Monday had to come back into my life and be a dick. I knew the risks going in, but I’m still afraid the last two days have changed me. I have this unquenchable bloodlust that always wants more, more, more, and I’m constantly struggling to repress a powerful urge to turn any nearby limbs into tools for bludgeoning.
Take this concept art, for example. Looking at these pics usually calms me, but now all they do is summon a mighty itch in my normally well-rested trigger finger. It might already be too late for some, but if you haven’t played the new Doom yet, I suggest you hold off on that until you’re done here.
For everyone else, it helped to separate the gun art from the monster art, since the two normally go so well together. Maybe it will make it easier for you, too.
Let’s drop some footage in here, just to be safe…
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
