I recently watched the Iron Lung movie adaptation with my wife and whilst she wasn’t too much of a fan I absolutely can see as to why this was such a big film of its time. The fact that this very low budget indie film made by a Youtube personality got so many things right about the game and ended up being an actually effective horror experience was a welcome surprise, and you can see why this encouraged many other online content creators to take a shot at creating their own theatrical releases.
Will it end up being the norm going forward that most big indie films are made by independent online content creators? Who’s to say. I however am interested in what else ends up coming out of this success story, and I am certainly on the more positive end of the scale when it comes to these type of video game adaptation films. At least they’re made by people who actually give a damn about the games themselves.
That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
