‘Outlast 2’ Footage Goes On a Cornfield Chase

Published

on

Our first real look at Outlast 2 brings to mind the cop chase from Alan Wake, where the eponymous writer was forced to run through a dark forest unarmed and chased by the stray beams of light from his would-be captors.

Red Barrels puts the expected horror movie twist on this familiarly effective chase scene by dropping the player in a setting that seems intent on using every tool in the scary storytelling arsenal — the first video starts inside a house of gore nestled inside a creepy cornfield — to string a sequence of horrific events so they play out like an anarchic haunted attraction where your chances of escape seem frighteningly slim.

Looking at these two videos, it’s clear this game will be more of the Outlast we know and love, complete with intense chase sequence that get the blood pumping, or flowing, depending on whether or not you make it.

Outlast 2 releases this fall for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Here’s a look at the game’s eerie walk-in demo from PAX East this weekend.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
