‘Allison Road’ is Back from the Dead!
In June, the P.T.-inspired psychological horror game Allison Road met the same fate as the demo that inspired it. The game’s publisher, Team17, quietly confirmed its cancellation and promised to issue a statement within the “next few days.” Fast forward nearly two weeks later and we got our statement, but still no explanation. There wasn’t much to glean from it, unless you weren’t aware of the “many layers of complexity” involved in modern games development.
It seemed as if there was no way this could end well, and that made the news of its revival all the more surprising. Allison Road creator Christian Kesler has resumed development of the title, albeit with a slightly refocused direction, as Kesler recently explained in an interview with IGN.
“After the set back, I took a bit of a break from working on it and re-evaluated all the work that had been done so far — the whole journey, so to speak,” says Kesler. “I started making a few (in my opinion) necessary changes to the story and the flow, little bits and pieces here and there, and before I knew it, it sort of naturally came back to life.”
Allison Road will be the debut title for the newly formed Far From Home, which Kesler co-founded with his wife. No release date has been announced.
Writer-director Francis Galluppi will soon face off Kandarian demons by helming the next Evil Dead film. This week sees the release of his star-studded feature debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County. An original Western thriller in the vein of early Coen Brothers, the film arrives this Friday, May 10 from Well Go USA in select theaters and VOD.
In anticipation, Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive clip featuring stars Jocelin Donahue and Barbara Crampton. Watch below and find the trailer and poster art underneath.
Here’s the story: “While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty—or cold, hard steel—to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune.”
Joining Donahue and Crampton is a who’s who of horror favorites: Jim Cummings, Richard Brake, Faizon Love, Alex Essoe, Michael Abbott Jr., Sierra McCormick, Nicholas Logan, Sam Huntington, Connor Paolo, Robin Bartlett, Jon Proudstar, Ryan Masson, and Gene Jones.
In her glowing review, our head critic Meagan Navarro says The Last Stop in Yuma County is “bustling with life and boisterous personalities, reflective on screen in every facet.” She adds, “Galluppi makes it so effortlessly easy to get sucked into this slick, singular world and invest in its characters, only for the filmmaker to revel in dispatching them.”
