Popular horror video game The House of the Dead is getting the movie adaptation treatment from Resident Evil director Paul W.S Anderson, and the concept art alone is enough to scare our socks off.
Alongside the announcement, Sega has released a bunch of concept art images, and by the looks of it, the movie is set to be just as scary as the game. In one image, which you can see above, a hoard of rotting zombies approach the camera in what looks to be a lab. The other image, which you can check out below, shows an otherworldly-looking demonic creature with razor-sharp teeth wielding a weapon. Something tells us that this won’t be a run-of-the-mill zombie movie.
“This is a full-on terror ride. It’s different than what we did with Resident Evil, where there were lots of traps and puzzles and things to be figured out,” added the helmer. The director also expressed his love of the original game. “I’ve loved the video game since the nineties,” said Anderson. “Back then I was a big player of video games in arcades, which is how I happened upon Mortal Kombat. And pretty much at the same time, I was also playing a lot of House of the Dead. It’s a title I’ve always loved.”
