With a real-world pandemic making this setup hit even closer to home, it’s easy to imagine Lone Survivor as a 28-Days-Later styled thriller set mostly within a dilapidated apartment complex. Chronicling the struggles of a masked protagonist fighting to keep a grip on his own sanity after a mysterious viral outbreak, Lone Survivor would be a no-brainer when it comes to adapting interactive horror to the big screen. Jason Byrne’s Lone Survivor may have started out as a simple flash-based homage to the survival-horror classics of yore, but the game’s lasting impact proves that there’s a lot more to this sidescrolling throwback than meets the eye. We’ll also be leaving out games that are already rumored to have adaptations on the way, so no Little Nightmares or Five Nights at Freddy! Naturally, these aren’t the only indie titles that could benefit from the cinematic treatment, so don’t forget to comment below with games that you would personally like to see adapted into scary movies. And with even more indie adaptations on the horizon, I’ve come up with this list of six indie games that could be turned into great horror movies! This videogame movie renaissance also means that AAA titles aren’t the only ones headed towards the big screen, as we’ve also been graced with surprisingly entertaining adaptations of smaller games like Josh Ruben’s recent Werewolves Within. From Netflix’s Castlevania to Sonic the Hedgehog and even the upcoming Resident Evil reboot, it feels like studios are finally hiring genuine fans to helm these productions.
Fortunately, recent years have been kinder to gamers who also like to see their favorite franchises tackle other mediums.
Anderson’s Mortal Kombat and Christophe Gans’ Silent Hill, it’s easy to understand why videogame adaptations were once regarded as the lowest form of cinema. While I think there’s a case to be made in defense of films like Paul W.S.
