Like RE:7, Silent Hill f feels authentic to its roots but also completely fresh & exciting. It captures the essence of the series without getting bogged down in the past and has become one of my favouritie entires as a result. My review @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

It can't be understated the astronomical amount of ass it whips that we're getting a new Silent Hill next week.

This "sounds great" to people who have runny eggs for brains.

Incident at Grove Lake remains the very best of @daninfiction.bsky.social horrifying catalog of bite-sized horrors. Feels like a found footage rendition of the extraterrestrial dread of Fire in the Sky by way of the insidious governmental conspiracies of the X-Files. #HorrorSky

For this week's @saferoompod.bsky.social , @neilbolt.bsky.social had another banger pick with Luto, which proves that in the right hands, horror walking sims still have some juice! #HorrorSky 🍎 apple.co/4m8i486 🟢 bit.ly/3V8FE9Y @bloody-disgusting.com @bloodyfm.bsky.social @brokenbird.bsky.social

Groundhog Day meets The Thing in the FMV body horror delight Dead Reset. Cole Mason finds himself stuck in a time loop, reviving from each death with the knowledge of his past life. A convenient predicament given there is a parasitic threat hunting him & the crew of a secret underwater facility.

A House in Hellworld is a self-proclaimed anti-horror visual novel exploring the hell of trying to make ends meet. Gorgeous charcoal art evokes the dourness of the themes explored within, making for an atmospheric contemporary commentary with a sprinkling of quality genre moments. #HorrorSky

For this week's episode, @neilbolt.bsky.social & @notfunnyj.bsky.social unpack the trauma-laced recesses of the mind with Luto! #HorrorSky 🍎 apple.co/4m8i486 🟢 bit.ly/3V8FE9Y @bloody-disgusting.com @bloodyfm.bsky.social @brokenbird.bsky.social

Who HASN'T had their adolescent adventure club members & turtle mascot wander into a haunted house before, amiright? Moida Mansion is a Gameboy era-inspired experience, asking players to search every nook & cranny for their missing friends while dodging that which lurks in the shadows. #HorrorSky

Luto was a lovely surprise. More Edith Finch than P.T. and that makes it an intriguing intersection between indie first-person horror and peak 2010s indie narrative adventures. Different enough, but a great 2025 cross-media companion to Steven Soderbergh's Presence in terms of Ghost stories.

Go Fly A Kite is an introspection about life, the apocalypse, and the simple joys of life. Interact with wonderfully deranged (complimentary) and darkly comedic coded claymation denizens, navigate the end times, and try to find solace in that which mitigates the daily sufferings of life. #horrorSky

This week's episode will be slightly delayed.....UNTIL TONIGHT! Check back this evening for our episode covering the multi-layered horrors of Luto!

Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️

Following last year’s Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team cements itself as a trusted name in horror with the intense and immersive Cronos: The New Dawn. My review: www.gamespot.com/reviews/cron...

This week, @neilbolt.bsky.social & @notfunnyj.bsky.social attempt to navigate the kafkaesque dreamscape of Pager from developer @bilgetbd.itch.io ! #HorrorSky 🍎 apple.co/460YZP8 🟢 bit.ly/4lY2Q5A @bloody-disgusting.com @bloodyfm.bsky.social

The Shopping List seems like a routine PSX-styled experience before evolving into a full-blown psychological game of cat and mouse, pitting the player against antagonistic townsfolk, all while being stalked by... someone. Also features a surprisingly strong narrative for a debut game. #HorrorSky

I had such a great time revisiting my favorite time-travel story, which is somehow hurtling toward its 10th anniversary. I definitely ventured outside my comfort zone for this essay—would love to hear what you think of it!

Perfect Vermin tasks players with hunting mimics in an office using the most delicate of tactics....Smashing everything in sight with a sledgehammer. An entertaining blend of destructively chaotic gameplay and a dark humor-laced body horror narrative makes for a one-of-a-kind experience. #HorrorSky

Utilizing a Game Boy aesthetic to tell its brooding tale, The Melting Apartment is a giallo-inspired mystery of a detective investigating a woman's disappearance shortly after she moved into her apartment. Interview strange neighbors and uncover clues to an increasingly 𝖔𝖉𝖉 case. #HorrorSky

Great time as always chatting with John about a subject I think of way more than I’d like to these days

My latest remake analysis for @bloody-disgusting.com investigates how a sleazy 1970s slasher became a slapdash 2000s supernatural remake. Tobe Hooper's TOOLBOX MURDERS (2004) cares too much about distancing itself from Dennis Donnelly’s THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978), which ends up tanking the film.
