‘Depth’ Celebrates a Jawsome First Year
The makers of Depth were onto somefin special when they decided to build a jaws-dropping asymmetrical multiplayer horror game in which a team of human-shaped rubber-coated candies must fight a battalion of living torpedoes made from teeth and hunger who, I might add, also have the added benefit of home field advantage.
Depth celebrated its one-year anniversary yesterday with an infographical breakdown of a year’s worth of stats, and while the Tiger shark’s popularity is certainly interesting, what’s most fascinating to me is how much the game has evolved over the course of just a year.
Digital Confectioners have kept their community alive with a steady drip-feed of patches and new content, much of it free. That’s no easy feat for an indie outfit with limited resources, and that only makes this infographic more impressive.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
