It’s a Friday miracle! Mega popular content creator Markiplier has surprised fans early with an early home release for his debut feature, Iron Lung.
In a reveal video below, Markiplier shares that Iron Lung is now available for purchase on YouTube, days ahead of its initial May 31 home release.
Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach stars in Iron Lung, which he also wrote and directed. The video game adaptation was self-distributed and scared up $50 million in theaters earlier this year.
Here’s the official synopsis: “The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only individuals aboard space stations or starships were left to give the end a name — The Quiet Rapture.
“After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Consolidation of Iron has made a discovery on a barren moon designated AT-5. An ocean of blood. Hoping to discover desperately needed resources, they immediately launch an expedition. A submarine is crafted, and a convict is welded inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean, the forward viewport has been encased in metal. If successful, they will earn their freedom.
“If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition.”
Caroline Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, and Elsie Lovelock will also star in the movie.
Iron Lung adapts the indie horror game created by David Szymanski, named by Bloody Disgusting as one of the Best Indie Horror Video Games You Might’ve Missed in 2022.
The announcement comes as Kane Parsons’ Backrooms releases in theaters, where it’s already shattering box office records alongside Curry Barker’s Obsession. It’s shaping up to be a massive year in horror for YouTubers-turned-filmmakers.
As for the physical media release of Iron Lung, stay tuned, as that’s also in the works.
