EXIT 8
EXIT 8 - The Japanese video game adaptation arrives on cinema screens to kick off the new wave of liminal horror. Iain MacLeod reviews this eerily effective tale of a commuter getting lost in an subterranean infinite loop and finds much to be entertained and unnerved by despite an unfamiliarity with the source material.
IRON LUNG
IRON LUNG - Another week, another video game adaptation, this time with the added bonus of being directed by and starring a YouTube personality. IRON LUNG however bucks the trend with its oppressive location and hints of cosmic horror that leaves reviewer Iain MacLeod impressed by Mark Fischbach’s debut.
RETURN TO SILENT HILL
Christophe Gans returns to the much loved horror video game franchise with this adaptation of the second game in the series. Iain MacLeod reviews and struggles to engage with a film that amounts to little more than a replication of the feeling you have watching someone else play a game while you wait for your own turn.

UNTIL DAWN - With video game adaptations on the rise on both TV and cinema screens, does David Sandberg’s adaptation of the horror favourite keep with the upward trend? Or is this just one more entry to the failure pile? Steven West presses ‘play again’ to investigate.
