Dead Space: Downfall

As I drift soullessly about the internet, I struggle to find film titles that sway me into watching them. If I could watch any film at this point it would definitely be Jason and the Argonauts. I love old films. My all time favourite old film is Hercules in New York, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger (it's his first film) a Hercules get bored of mount Olympus and asks his father, Zeus, if he can stay on earth for a while. It is a must see as there is a scene in which Arnie wrestles with a man dressed as a bear. No joke.


so back to me trying to find a film to review.
AVAST! I have struck gold crew!

Dead space!

In a word: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHGGGG

In 496 words
:

right, deep space mining blady bla, miners find a large spire that belongs to some kind of alien race.
At the same time the spiral is found, strange murders and suicides commence, could they be related? Yes, but that's not the point. a Religious group called the unitologists (personally I think it's a cover for scientology) say they need to retrieve the artefact and take it to earth.
The Ishimura comes to extract the strange twizler but half way through doing so they lose contact with the colony, So naturally a small vessel is sent down to check up on what's going on.

a narrow dark passage leads one of the crew to his wife, screams can be heard bouncing off the steel walls. When he sees her slashed and tortured body treading lightly over crushed glass he finds it hard to believe. He finds it even harder to believe she slits her throat right in front of him.

he pointlessly takes her back to his ship and races towards the Ishimura, whose crew realized what’s fishy about the spire. They close all ports to stop any threats. despite all efforts to stop the pilot of the small vessel, it slips though but little does the pilot know, his wife has turned fugly and starts to gnaw on his shoulder.

So as you can imagine, the monsters head to the morgue and resurrect it's residents. Evil would be a good way to describe the way these monsters look (see what i did there?). The monsters spread like zombies; though once you get killed a giant floating sting-ray humps your face.

The straight thinking commander of security (something like that) thinks only about the people and sets off to bust some cap in some fugly bitches. While failing with bullets and half her team dead, a very calm scientologist turns up with a HENCH light-sabre chainsaw thing and massacres the evil things.

The team decide that they also want light-saws and head for the store cupboard.

So the film is pretty much the same thing all the way apart from the end which is one of those ending that makes you say "OH SHI-"

The film is anime and very well done, unless it wasn't the website messing up the video audio sync. I now see how the game dead space won the award for best audio use in the video game BAFTAs.

I've never played the game before but now i really want to. The film is a large anime into scene to the game, dead space.

It features actors that I've never heard of before such as Jim Cummings, Kelly Hu and Nika Futterman.

Strong use of contrast is used through out making the creepy part even more colour draining-ly scary.

Over all; watch it. If you don’t enjoy the thick animalistic gore then you’re not watching it right. I mean, where else are you going to get an evil baby with tenticles killing people?
