‘Ashen Falls’ Has Been Put On Hold
Well, shoot. It seems as if the Silent Hill-esque psychological horror game Ashen Falls has gone the way of its inspiration. The duo behind it made the announcement today in a post on the game’s Facebook page, which is still plastered with the incredibly imaginative concept art that left quite an impression earlier this year.
Hi everyone. It’s been awhile since our last update and I’m sorry to say this is not the update we wanted to share with you.
We’ve been quietly trying to see if we could make Ashen Falls happen over the last couple of months. We, Gilles and David, have also been working various contracts so we would able to finance the prototype. However, we’ve come to a point where we have to make a huge investment of time and money to do Ashen Falls right. Unfortunately we’re not able to do that at the moment and it means that we have to put the development on hold.
It really breaks our heart to have to do this, Ashen Falls is very special and dear to us and I hope there will be a way in the future to continue with it, but for now we will have to focus on other things.
We want to thank you all so much for the support, likes, messages, and comments. Your encouragement was the reason we gathered the confidence to even try.
Thanks,
Gilles and David
I sincerely hope that Gilles and David are able to find a way to make it happen. This concept art is far too stunning to leave its potential untapped.
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.
