But there’s no humor in Dead Space: Downfall, which is a missed opportunity.Īre there any funny horror/sci-fi adventures that deal in buckets of blood and zombie re-animation that I could rent next?
I was also reminded at times of the over the top ending of Peter Jackson’s ridiculous blood fest Dead Alive. It’s solidly rooted in the Alien/Predator genre with doses of House on Haunted Hill and John Carpenter thrown in for good measure. But I found this movie at least minimally intriguing. Its’ my understanding that this level of blood and gore is pretty standard nowadays for video games. There’s a lot of blood, screaming, crunching bones, and dismemberment in this movie. No sooner did I say to Number One Son, “These guys really need a Light Saber to deal with these bulletproof zombies,” than a character appears with an electronic chain saw he uses to slice and dice the rapidly multiplying bad guys. Zombies, blood and guts, endless corridors, alien infestations, abundant cursing, religious fanatics, and a tough-as-nails female security officer combine to raise this modestly animated adventure above (just barely) a run of the mill factory-generated anime adventure.
