‘Negative Atmosphere’ Preps For EGX With a New Trailer
Dead Space may be gone, but it’s certainly not forgotten. Case in point: Sun Scorched Studios’ Negative Atmosphere, which has just unveiled a new teaser for EGX REZZED, which is taking place in England April 4th to the 6th.
Negative Atmosophere puts you in the shoes of one 49-year-old ex-combat medic called Samuel Edwards. Set in the midst of a cold war in which A.I has been achieved via the use of organic processing cores, Edwards is currently stationed aboard the long-range cargo and haulage ship the TRH Rusanov.
A mysterious sickness has appeared on the Rusanov, and has subsequently spread throughout the ship, causing all the robots and personnel to mutate into hideous creatures that are hell-bent on the destruction of all the organisms around them. Naturally, you must escape, not only with your life, but your sanity, as well. As you progress through the game, your mental state will deteriorate and hallucinations will set in.
Obviously, Negative Atmosphere echoes the horror and the mind-messing that Dead Space was so good at doing. Which is a more than welcome thing. If you’re keen on helping Sun Scorched Studios out, you can always check out their Patreon and chip a few bucks their way.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
