A Custom PS1 Inspired by ‘Resident Evil’s’ Nemesis
UPDATE: I’m an idiot. This is a PS1, not a PSX.
If Nemesis was a gamer — and real — I imagine he’d do his gaming on something like this custom PSX console. Or, at least he would when he wasn’t, ya know, chasing down the S.T.A.R.S. so he could maim them with his tentacle hand.
If you’re unfamiliar with the PSX, it doubled as a Sony digital video recorder and a PlayStation 2. It also never left Japan and was discontinued a little over a year after its launch due to poor sales. I’ve never considered myself particularly in tune with the average Japanese gamer, but I think the PSX would have had a significantly better chance at finding its audience had it sported this fantastic B.O.W. inspired look when it originally launched.
And is it just me, or would this console pair well with that sickly eXistenZ controller that tested our gag reflexes a few months back?
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.
