Universal 1440 Entertainment, the production arm of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, opens up a portal to Hell with this Halloween season’s Doom: Annihilation, a brand new, direct-to-video adaptation of the Doom video game franchise. Described as an intense and action-packed new installment, the film will be releasing on October 1st.
Over on Twitter, director Tony Giglio has shown off the film’s upgraded version of the classic Imps from the Doom video games, describing the redesign as follows:
“In place of horns we gave its charred skin sharp edges for a more organic horn. We kept its glowing eyes & wide open screaming mouth.”

“On the darkest moon of Mars, scientists have found an ancient portal which allows teleportation throughout the universe. Considered to be mankind’s greatest discovery, it’s actually a gateway from hell, unleashing a swarm of demons looking to steal the souls of everyone who gets in their way. It’s up to Lieutenant Joan Dark and an elite unit of Marines to destroy an ever-growing horde of bloodsucking and soul-stealing beasts and prevent them from taking over planet earth.”
Doom: Annihilation was written and directed by Tony Giglio (S.W.A.T.: Under Siege), and stars Amy Manson, Dominic Mafham, Luke Allen-Gale and Nina Bergman.
