It seemed reminiscent of pulp storytelling one might find in the pages of Heavy Metal Magazine.
The story descends into an Alien-style battle for survival, full of gory mayhem and hackneyed dialogue riddled with obscenities. The security chief for the ship, Alyssa Vincent, soon finds herself dealing with a rash of violent deaths involving an alien life form that distorts then inhabits the bodies of dead crewmembers. That grim and bloody 72-minute movie, also released through Anchor Bay Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray, was advertised as a prequel to the original Dead Space videogame - and as such could be seen easily enough as its own work for those unfamiliar with the game.ĭead Space: Downfall involved a mining starship of the future named the Ishimura that extracts a large monolith-ish artifact from an alien planet called Aegis VII. I did view, however, its immediate predecessor, the 2008 Dead Space: Downfall.
I can't assess how this new film compliments the video game series' narrative. Before I begin this review of Dead Space: Aftermath, I should state that I am not a gamer and have never played the EA Dead Space video games from which this animated film draws its inspiration.
