It’s still too early to say if Amazon’s live-action take on Fallout will be any good. But the first few trailers at least make one thing clear: the show seems like it’s nailing the distinct vibe of the games.The newly released second trailer follows a lot of the same beats as the first, tracking a Vault Dweller named Lucy (Ella Purnell) heading out into the Wasteland only to discover how dangerous things have become two centuries after the apocalypse. The show looks gritty and violent, as you’d expect from a…

Before he was bludgeoned to death and left in a Danish bog, an ancient individual now known as Vittrup Man was an emblem of past and future ways of living.He was born more than 5,000 years ago into a community of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers who probably lived in northern Scandinavia as their ancestors had for millennia. But Vittrup Man spent his adult life across the sea in Denmark among farming communities, whose ancestors came from the Middle East.It’s impossible to know the lives that Vittrup Man touched during his…

The 3D Realms published and Troglobytes Games developed The Kindeman Remedy has released today on PC. PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch versions will be released at a later date. The Kindeman Remedy is a warped game about a disgraced doctor and morally bankrupt nun performing experiments on prisoners in an attempt to create a breakthrough treatment. It’s a pretty violent take on the medical management genre, as you torture and poison the inmates as you seek to restore the doctor’s reputation at any…

In August 2016, WIRED visited the San Francisco offices of a young startup recently snapped up by a surprising buyer. General Motors acquired three-year-old Cruise for a reported $1 billion in hopes the straitlaced Detroit automaker could coopt the self-driving technology tipped to disrupt the auto industry. Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt—a scrappy Twitch cofounder who competed as a teen in BattleBots—said he intended to stick around, but to keep running the driverless-car tech developer like a startup. He’d be out of a job, he…

Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel are the French documentary film-makers who in 2012 gave us Leviathan, an experimental and immersively strange account of life on a fishing trawler in the north Atlantic. In 2017 their Somniloquies was a hallucinatory, image-driven film about sleep-talking, while Caniba was about the notorious Japanese murderer and cannibal Issei Sagawa and the strange half-life of his later years, when he was immobilised by a cerebral infarction.Their new film does for the human body what…

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures In 2013’s Evil Dead remake, director Fede Álvarez revitalized the franchise more on nostalgia than anything else. The idea of a remote cabin, the broken-down bridge, a basement cellar, the evil tree branches, and the humor was lost in execrating dialogue. Now, a decade later, Lee Cronin has breathed new life into the evil that rises from the dead in a new setting that takes Sam Raimi’s originals and upgrades the levels of blood, taking it leaps ahead in the visualization of…

A peculiarly gruesome artifact has been uncovered during archaeological digs in England, hearkening back to long lost cultural practices that today we can only try to imagine.Several years ago, near a village just a few kilometers north-west of Cambridge called Bar Hill, archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) dug up a comb dated to around 750 BCE to 43 CE, one made of bone.But not just any bone. This artifact, scientists discovered, was carved from a human parietal bone, part of the human skull.Other…

via Lionsgate If you’ve seen The Running Man – the gloriously cheesy 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger cult classic adapted from a Stephen King story and directed by one half of TV’s Starsky & Hutch to hammer home its bizarre credentials – then you’ve got absolutely no reason whatsoever to watch The Condemned. Virtually identical in plot except exponentially worse, the 2007 dud stars Stone Cold Steve Austin as a death row inmate awaiting execution who gets dropped on a remote island to be plunged into a battle to…

The case is a first from a content moderator outside the company’s home country. In May 2020, Meta (then Facebook) reached a settlement of $52 million with US-based moderators who developed PTSD from working for the company. But previous reporting has found that many of the company’s international moderators doing nearly identical work face lower pay and receive less support while working in countries with fewer mental health care services and labor rights. While US-based moderators made around $15 per hour, moderators in…

Happy hump day, horror heathens! It’s been quite the intriguing week in the spooky universe — with the first month of 2023 already promising some exciting projects to be released this year.
