‘Iron Lung’ Teaser Trailer – Markiplier Directing and Starring in Horror Movie Video Game Adaptation
The indie horror game Iron Lung is getting a feature film adaptation from popular content creator Markiplier, with Deadline reporting that he’ll both direct and star in the upcoming film.
Markiplier also wrote the script for the movie, which is now in production.
Watch the teaser trailer for the Iron Lung movie below.
David Szymanski created the Iron Lung video game, which was named by Bloody Disgusting as one of the Best Indie Horror Video Games You Might’ve Missed in 2022.
Luiz H.C. raved in that article, “Inherently claustrophobic and with only a few inches of metal separating you from a watery grave, submarines are undoubtedly horrifying. Of course, leave it to Dave Szymanski to make the diving experience that much more terrifying by forcing players to rely on obsolete technology to navigate the briny depths.”
He added, “The charming retro graphics and Doom 64 inspired soundtrack are also a huge bonus, but the best part this spooky experience is that it ends with a bang just before the navigational gimmicks have a chance to wear out their welcome. Now that’s craftsmanship.”
Caroline Rose Kaplan (The Plot Against America) also stars in the film adaptation.
Markiplier’s real name is Mark Fischbach.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
