'Fears to Fathom' 游戏系列将改编为电影与电视剧

Horror video games don’t always fare quite so well when they are adapted into other formats, though recent years have slowly managed to correct that perception. In the 2000s, the Resident Evil series and attempts to adapt Doom largely fell flat, given the inherent challenges of trying to replicate the actual experience of playing the games as opposed to telling a linear narrative.

One seminal example of a horror game adaptation is HBO‘s The Last of Us, with the show’s critical and viewership success being a testament to the effectiveness of the source material. Just last month, Zach Cregger‘s Resident Evil pulled off the seemingly impossible by telling an all-new story that he specifically orchestrated to recreate the experience of playing the game, which was a hit with audiences and critics.

As revealed by Deadline, the next video game series to get the live-action treatment is Fears to Fathom. As described by the outlet, “Fears to Fathom franchise is an anthology of stand-alone psychological horror stories inspired by frightening real-life experiences. Rather than relying on supernatural creatures or elaborate mythology, Fears to Fathom builds suspense around seemingly ordinary situations that take increasingly terrifying turns.”

Scarlet Stallone and creator Mukul Negi, professionally known as Rayll, have partnered to developed potential movie and TV projects based on the idea.

“I’ve been playing video games since before I could read, and the first time I played Fears to Fathom, I was hooked. I’ve played every one since,” Stallone shared in a statement. “Rayll’s games are grounded and genuinely unsettling, because the horror comes from situations that could actually happen to you. I love working with Rayll; we’re a great team, and I’m so excited to expand that world while keeping what fans love.”

Rayll added, “I started Fears to Fathom as a very personal project, so seeing how far it has grown and how strongly people around the world have connected with these stories has been surreal … Scarlet immediately understood that what makes Fears to Fathom work isn’t just the scares — it’s the feeling that these situations could happen to anyone. I’m excited to work with her and SRYN Productions to bring that same tension and authenticity to a new medium.”

So far, the series has been comprised of installments Home Alone, Norwood Hitchhike, Carson House, Ironbark Lookout, Woodbury Getaway, and Scratch Creek. In Home Alone, “You play as Miles, a 14 years old kid who is home alone while his parents are out of town for work. He soon finds himself in trouble as the story unfolds, would he make it through the night? He survived as he made the right choices.”

Stay tuned for updates on the future of the Fears to Fathom franchise.
