‘Daylight’ Wants To See Your Scared Face
The makers of the Saw video games are now hard at work on a brand new survival horror game called Daylight, which will be coming exclusively to the PC and PlayStation 4 later this year. It takes a page out of Slender’s book by throwing you in a dangerous situation armed only with a smart phone and a flashlight, and if you have a PlayStation Eye camera, it will even take pictures of you when something scary happens so you can share them with your friends.
Now, I’ve never been overly accused of having an excess of bravery, so I’m pretty sure my “scared face” isn’t all that flattering. If you’re ever in a self-deprecating mood, at least Daylight gives you the option of sharing your shame with those who will judge you.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
