‘Resident Evil 7’ Trailer Plays Hide and Seek
Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the old lantern lady, she means you no harm. Such is the theme of the latest trailer for Resident Evil 7, in which our mysterious and easily winded protagonist plays cat and mouse with the world’s slowest walker inside an old, broken down plantation house. Unlike the Beginning Hour demo that — available now on PS4, for free, if you have PS Plus — that was meant to give us a taste of the atmosphere and play style, this footage will appear in the final game.
As for the “found footage” aesthetic, Capcom has confirmed that it’s not going to look that way when Resident Evil 7 hits PC, PS4 and Xbox One on January 24, 2017.
“While it may look a little fuzzy, don’t worry – that’s not representative of the entire game’s final graphics. What you see here is a filter that simulates the battered tapes that you’ll be “watching” and playing through in the full game, similar to the tape you can find of the “Sewer Gators” film crew in Beginning Hour. This time, you’ll get a sneak peek at a different tape, one that both shows new areas of the house, and perhaps more importantly, another member of the family – Marguerite.”
I know I’ve seen that face before, but where? Oh yeah!
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.
