A Musical Tribute to the ‘Dead Island’ Reveal Trailer

Published

on

Five years ago, the Internet blew up because of a trailer for a video game about zombies. That game was Dead Island, and though the game or its mixed bag of pseudo-sequels and spin-offs has never been able to match that emotionally devastating reveal trailer, it’s still absolutely worth celebrating with an orchestral tribute like this. Enjoy.

Eins Medien, Kai Schumacher (Piano), Beril Sun (Violin 1), Tonja Demianenco (Violin 2), Amélie Legrande (Viola), Emanuel Wehse (Cello) comprise the enormous talent that’s on display in this video, and they’re all members of team Dynamedion.

This is a pretty neat way of reminding us about the Dead Island Definitive Collection that releases next Tuesday (May 31) for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Included in the $39.99 bundle is the original Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide — which is not included on the disc if you’re getting it for PS4 — and a brand new 2D arcade brawler called Dead Island: Retro Revenge.

Here’s the original trailer again, in case you’d fancy another viewing.

Gets me every time. Every. Goddamn. Time.

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.
