Most of us aren’t properly equipped to wander about post-apocalyptic Pripyat. You could risk a visit, but I’d recommend you bring Radscorpion repellent and something to protect your fragile DNA from being devastated by the invisible pockets of radiation that have taken up residence in Ukraine’s most infamous ghost town three decades after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster forced the sudden evacuation of its original inhabitants.

Your other option is to give the Chernobyl VR Project a try. Developed by The Farm 51, this virtual reality title combines gaming with educational and movie narrative software to give players the unique opportunity to go on a virtual tour of both Chernobyl and Pripyat without the risk of being eaten alive by Ghouls.

Better yet, a portion of the sales will be donated to various charities that support victims of the Chernobyl disaster, including 10% of Bronze edition sales, 30% of the Silver edition, and 60% of the Hall of Fame edition. The Chernobyl VR Project released earlier this month on the Oculus Rift, followed by the HTC Vive in August.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

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.
