VR Horror ‘The Deep’ Could Be the ‘Jaws’ of Video Games
The ocean has always been a scary place, and that’s because it’s huge and much of it is still largely unknown to us. You would think those two things would inspire more developers to take their horror games to the deep blue, but for some reason, it’s only recently seen the attention it deserves. Between Narcosis, SOMA, Stranded Deep, and a handful of others, the ocean is quickly becoming a prime spot for horror games.
Joining the pack is The Deep, a horror game designed with Sony’s Project Morpheus VR headset in mind. After seeing it in action, I’m getting strong Jaws vibes. That film kept a lot of people out of the water, and it looks like this may have a similar effect. The only thing that could make this any scarier is if the sharks were replaced with clowns. Ocean clowns.
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.
