I watched two returning horror franchises and played a creepy indie game in August — and I was surprised by which one let me down the most
August saw the return of two franchises as well as the arrival of an indie game demo. But which ones are worth your time?
In August, I indulged in three horror media options, two of which were familiar franchises and one an indie game. The first was the film adaptation of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, originally a sci-fi series. The director's cut, included all the gore removed for a PG-13 rating, which I found to be a worthwhile horror addition.
The second was an episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City, a spin-off struggling to recapture the franchise's magic. The final horror media I explored was a free demo of Something Strange Tonight — The Lurker, an indie game that tickled my creepy, low-poly game cravings. Despite the potential for success, the Walking Dead spin-off fell short, leaving me underwhelmed.
