![]() The thrill of the hunt, the danger, the discovery, what means to be human, animal and Beast, a corrupted religious creed and its institutions that purposefully use fear and ignorance to thrive and submit the population. The main theme of both productions is the hunt. Brotherhood of the Wolf, AKA "Bloodborne the Movie before Bloodborne"Ī french movie that had Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci at their prime, this is a fine example of what I wrote above: this movie is an undeniable source of inspiration for Bloodborne. We only discuss games that are unofficial, and yet recognizable, videogame adaptations of such films.īefore we begin, be forewarned: There may be spoilers for the games, the film or both, so proceed at your own risk. There is no room for tie-ins or official game-movies in this thread. With "inspired" I mean games that undeniably take aesthetical, lore and thematic elements by said movies. Go ahead and watch Forbidden World, which is genuinely pretty awesome, and skip this heap of spare parts entirely.You read it right folks, movies that inspired later games. You do get a very early performance from Bryan Cranston, and the poster art really is great, but neither of those things are enough to validate sitting through the rest of it. I do try my best to find remarkable stuff when watching bad movies, but there just really isn’t much here that’s worth watching. There are more attempts at humor in this version, but all the jokes and sarcasm are of the ungood variety. Either that, or the editing is just really bad. You can tell everyone here was pretty ashamed of how poorly the monster performed, because the editing goes to great lengths to avoid showing the thing maneuver and, instead, movement is articulated through the eye or body motion of the actors trying to escape from or attack it. There are multiple scenes of a stiff puppet being thrown at characters or across the screen, often through a vent covering as it either escapes or pops onto the scene. The adult version of the creature is a little cool, resembling a sort of dragon insect version of the xenomorph queen from Aliens, minus any articulation of any kind. Even Singer’s robot sidekick, though no longer a second-rate Star Wars stormtrooper, now is obviously just a guy in tights wearing some BMX padding that’s been spray-painted gray. In fact, Dead Space is a bonafide bore and a lesser film than its source material in almost every way. While there are more lady scientists in the cast this time, in a cruel twist of fate for Singer, the sex and nudity is significantly reduced here, as is the gore, as is the cool music, as is the intrigue. Marc Singer is now the leading man, and he makes slightly more sense than Jesse Vint as a lady scientist-banging space mercenary. Although, ever the trailblazer, Corman decided to do this one on a much slimmer budget. This one has nothing to do with the popular video game series rather, it’s a Roger Corman-produced remake of a previous Roger Corman-produced film, Forbidden World (1982). Starring: Marc Singer, Laura Tate, Judith Chapman
