[Indie Horror Spotlight] In ‘DayZ’, It’s Every Man For Himself
I recently made the poor decision of trying to play DayZ. After the mod saw such massive success, I decided long ago that I’d stick my toe in the zombie infested waters when the standalone released. Now that it’s out — in public alpha — I made good on that silly idea that this is a game I might enjoy. “Everyone loves this game, I will too,” I told myself. With newfound confidence I loaded it up and spent the next hour running not from the undead hordes but the many vagabond dickfaces that play the game.
This is my story. It isn’t pretty.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
