Horror of Godzilla is not only one of the best kaiju comic-books I’ve ever read, but one of the best pieces of kaiju media I have consumed full stop. My review of the first issue over at @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/comics/39623...

Bloody Disgusting's SILENT HILL: TOWNFALL Hands-On Preview - Even with the change of perspective and setting, which both feel like they were chosen for all the right reasons, this feels like a modern take on classic Silent Hill: bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

‘Silent Hill: Townfall’ Hands-on Preview: Modern First-Person Horror That Feels Like Classic ‘Silent Hill’

When Konami announced their slate of new Silent Hill games four years ago, they had a lot to prove. The series had been dormant for so many years, with the famously cancelled P.T./Silent Hills being i...

I’ve just discovered the Easter egg when you google Widow’s Bay

the 'authors shouldn't use big words' thing is so antithetical to the way I read. It's a JOY to learn a new word. Isn't it exciting to come away from a book knowing something you didn't?

Another summer of having to look for paid work, so if there's anywhere or anyone out there looking for a writer specialising in writing about horror games and/or films please let me know!

Not sure if it’s obvious…but every fucking country should be doing this.

"Yeah, Christopher Nolan made a billion dollars with a film about a scientist being sad, but I really think I can get people to skip his movie where Matt Damon fights monsters with a sword," - the finest minds on the internet.

"Nolan makes movies for dumb guys to feel smart" is itself the kind of reductive statement made to make someone feel smarter than they are imo

Almost every mechanic in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is filtered through the lens of either cosmic horror or seventeenth-century monasticism, leading to some ingenious twists on well-worn extraction shooter tropes. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

‘The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu’ Review: Cosmic Horror Elevates a Thrilling Co-Op Shooter

The dynamic at the heart of extraction shooters is so well suited to horror that it’s kind of amazing that most of the genre’s foundational works have taken either a sci-fi or militaristic bent, rathe...

Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is a game that does a lot well, with seemingly deliberate design choices and inventive ideas. Unfortunately, this is all tainted by one completely needless decision on the part of its developers. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

‘Vampire Hunter: Nightrise’ Review: AI Casts a Shadow Over Gothic Shooter Fun

The gothic castle-cum-escape room you explore in Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is so delightfully kitsch that it is hard to call it truly scary. With chittering bat swarms, lycanthropes baying at the full...

EVIL DEAD BURN goes scorched earth with the grimmest, goriest and most stylishly uncompromising take on the series. It fully commits to its burning motif with an abusive French Extremity twist that leans heavily on the cruelty exhibited in the 2013 version. Still darkly comedic, but way more bitter

All the physical media talk makes me miss those Fridays after school when my mum would take me to the video store to rent a game. It’s one of the most cherished memories I have and fuck you PlayStation.

Evil Dead Burn had me cackling like a deadlite for much of its runtime, as the lashings of gore just kept coming, the mean spirited sadism just kept escalating, and the vertiginous camera work just kept getting giddier boxd.it/f867cx

Felt inevitable one of the console companies was gonna say 'fuck physical media', but it's grimly amusing it's the company that makes discs is the first one to do it.

WIDOW'S BAY has been renewed for SEASON 2. The news arrives ahead of the Season One finale, premiering Wednesday, June 17 on Apple TV. "Season Two is about how everything is great on the island and there’s nothing to worry about,” teases creator Katie Dippold.

Grave of the Fireflies. I'm a movie crier in general, but this one had me sobbing violently halfway through and it never relented. My entire face was puffy for a full day after.

The Sinking City 2 is undeniably slicker than its predecessor when it comes to visuals and combat. I'm just a tad concerned that these improvements might come at the expense of the detective systems that made the 1st game so unique @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

The Devil in Me remains my favourite TDP game, but I did enjoy hanging with the crew in Directive 8020. That's the great thing about anthologies, right? We all have our favourites. Always happy to have more TDP. www.thegamer.com/directive-80...

Directive 8020 Review: One Giant Leap For Jump Scares

Directive 8020 offers fresh mechanics to the series' template and retains the core gameplay we know and love, but some parts feel a little repetitive.

On a whim, I actually started reading Suzuki’s Ring last year and, in no time flat, proceeded to voraciously consume the entire series (minus the untranslated Tide). His books are bonkers, unpredictable and eminently readable. Of the ones I’ve read, Dark Water is the best but Birthday is great too

Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com · 3mo ago

We are sad to learn that Japanese master of horror Koji Suzuki has passed away at 68. Koji Suzuki's nightmares defined an era of horror beginning in the '90s with THE RING, originally a Suzuki novel, and DARK WATER, based on a Suzuki short story. Rest in Peace, master.

Sad to hear of the passing of Koji Suzuki, aged 68. Ring, Spiral, Dark Water… his fiction helped birth J-horror, and rewired how the whole world thinks about dread. A huge loss. Unlike Sadako, rest in peace. ❤️
