Frictional Games has unleashed the Halloween update for Amnesia: The Bunker onto PC and consoles today. And as reported, the update brings several new features to Amnesia: The Bunker, “really switching up the gameplay, adding new horrors and heaps of replay value.”
First and foremost is the “Shell Shock” difficulty, which functions as a sort of Hardcore mode for the game, and includes some of the following changes:
New creature behaviors that increases unpredictability. Sublevel Fuse System that requires the player to restore electricity to turn on the lights in each of the Bunker’s zones. Players will now lose health while bleeding, bandages will stop bleeding but don’t restore health, while medkits stop bleeding and restore health. Lockers and their combinations are in random locations. Saving your progress costs fuel. The unlimited supply of fuel, and already difficult-to-access resource, is now locked and has its own combination located somewhere in the Bunker.

As the second season of Invasion draws near its end, questions just keep piling up, and characters start acting increasingly erratic due to the relentless pressure and threat imposed by the alien assault. Some big revelations are made by the end of the eighth episode, titled Cosmic Ocean, but the issue of pacing continues to plague the series, as at times the episodes act like filler in the narrative whole.
In the previous episode, by risking her life, Mitsuki was able to decode alien language from the hive mind entity in the Amazon project. At Oklahoma, Trev and Rose were able to reach the epicenter of the first alien assault, at Ben Shelton’s farm, which they found to have become a fortified military camp—Project Idabel. The campsite is supposedly an alien experimentation center, with a peculiar crater located in the middle, which Trev and Rose suspect to be...

Free to say whatever they wanted in open court after Danny Masterson was formally sentenced to 30 years in prison, the three women who testified against the “That ’70s Show” star gave lengthy, detailed and emotionally supercharged victim impact statements that spoke of additional unreported attacks, more creepy behavior and further Scientology intervention not mentioned over two trials.
One such statement took a direct swipe at Ashton Kutcher — without naming Masterson’s former costar — and the “many cowards who can claim they just never saw him rape anyone.” Kutcher and wife Mila Kunis were among several of Masterson’s family, friends and former colleagues who wrote character statements on his behalf before sentencing, and who quickly faced online backlash when the leniency letters surfaced last week.
The victims read their impact statements aloud last Thursday in a Los Angeles court, minutes after Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo ordered the maximum possible sentence for Masterson.

Rotten Tomatoes has a lot of influence over moviegoers, perhaps too much. Without reading a single review of a movie, one only needs to look at the Rotten Tomatoes score, a figure between 0 and 100 that decides if the movie is Fresh or Rotten. Critics and filmmakers have already taken issue with the method, which treats every review in black-and-white terms, with no room for nuance. However, a new report from Vulture revealed another massive problem — namely that a movie-publicity company called Bunker 15 has been paying critics for reviews in a bid to raise the Rotten Tomatoes score of certain movies.
Vulture’s report says that Bunker 15 manipulated the Rotten Tomatoes score for Ophelia, a retelling of Hamlet starring Daisy Ridley. The film had a score of 46% after early screenings, which landed it firmly in the Rotten category, but Bunker 15 went to work and looked for critics who could be convinced...

Frictional Games’s Amnesia: The Bunker centers around a World War II soldier who awakens in an underground shelter with, you guessed it, amnesia. What the title doesn’t convey is just how big of a departure the game is from the other entries in the Amnesia series, including 2010’s The Dark Descent, one of the best horror games of all time.
For one, the linearity of the game’s predecessors is gone, replaced by a semi-open world built around a central safe room. Multiple paths snake away from that hub into the depths of the bunker, and you may travel them as you wish, searching for the demolition tools to blast open an exit. No matter where you travel, though, you’ll find large holes in the walls from which the single mutant that stalks your progress throughout the game could emerge.
The player is also no longer defenseless...

I’ve always been fascinated with the popularity of the Amnesia franchise. The first game came out in an era where survival horror was pretty much dead. It soon caught on with YouTubers and let’s-players overreacting to its unique flavor of horror. Like it or not, it kept the torch of survival horror lit during an era where Resident Evil 6 was the biggest horror game on shelves. This was soon followed by an outsourced sequel titled A Machine for Pigs that took everything players loved about the first game and tossed it all out in favor of a walking simulator through carefully curated scenes. It didn’t work. The series returned to the original developers with Rebirth and for the most part it felt like a back-to-basics approach with a bigger emphasis on story.
For fans, the Amnesia series was back and could go anywhere.

With another seven premium theaters set to open in India by this coming December and negotiations ongoing with new partners in Europe, Asia and Latin America, Ice Theaters will hit the ground at this year’s CinemaCon with an expanding international portfolio and a heftier global reach.
“Clearly, people know our brand,” says Ice Theaters senior VP sales and strategy Guillaume Thomine Desmazures. “When a massive group like India’s PVR Inox entrusts you to build several new cinemas over the next five years, that affords greater legitimacy. Instead of [introducing ourselves and our product] we field more financial questions. People no longer ask who we are and what we do; they want to know about price and return-on-investment. More so than last year, today, we’re really centered on business.”
While offering revenue share or fixed fee models tailored to specific markets, Ice execs have adaptability as a key element of their sales pitch.

Blue Fox Entertainment has acquired North American rights to “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe,” a queer coming-of-age story about two teens who form a special bond after a chance meeting one summer. The sale comes a few months after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Blue Fox is planning a wide theatrical release of the film this summer, though the exact date has yet to be determined. Blue Fox’s international division is handling the international sales.
“It’s rare when a best-selling book, talented crew, amazing director and cast all come together to create a ‘must see’ film, and we are very proud to bring ‘Aristotle and Dante’ to audiences across the U.S.,” said Blue Fox executive James Huntsman.
Filmmaker Aitch Alberto wrote and directed “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe,” marking her directorial debut. It’s based on...

If you are frustrated with something that has recently transpired in your life, and you want to get rid of that feeling, watch “Bunker.” But keep another film that you like close to you because you will need it after watching this one. You will be surprised at how it shifts your frustration from that thing to itself. The sheer nonsensical presentation of what could have been a sensible plot makes you want to take refuge in a “bunker” rather than wait for the movie to end. The conviction with which the actors play their parts is what further makes the film more ludicrous and irritating. Without any further criticism, let’s see what happens in “Bunker.”

Bunker is a horror film directed by Adrian Langley starring Eddie Ramos, Luke Baines and Julian Feder.
A film with a single set in which the director gives it his all so that, although the shortcomings are noticeable, they go as unnoticed as possible and thus show his skills with the camera.
He manages to show them, making an entertaining film that, being a B Series, comes out well thanks to the efforts of the entire cast.
Be warned: low budget.
Movie Review
Well – very well – shot, but with few means. As for the script, it is not something completely original that will go down in the history of cinema and it seems (due to the budget) to be an ”early on in my career” film.
It has its virtues in one of those films that gives all it can with what it has: some careful actors (not much more...

The Quiet Girl, an Oscar contender for Best International Feature, opened to a robust $60k on six screens this weekend for a per-theater average of $10k. The film by Colm Bairead presented by Super Ltd is based on the short story by Claire Keegan of a shy nine-year-old girl in rural Ireland. It led debuts in a specialty market that’s showing consistent signs of recovery amid a wider slate of films. Emily from Bleecker Street expanded to solid numbers and this year’s program of Oscar Nominated Short Films blew past last year with a $1.6 million cume in week two.
It’s hard to describe the specialty landscape. “We’re not where we want to be yet,” said one distributor. “Slowly approaching pre-Covid” levels sounds too optimistic. But there is a recovery underway that seems to be consistent. “It used to be one step forward, one step back. A good sign,...
