There are few things scarier than that moment in a horror movie where you realize the characters have lost track of one of their friends. It starts with the question of when they were seen last, then there’s a frantic search, and inevitably one of them finds a body that’s been unceremoniously dispatched by an unseen villain.
But what’s even scarier than watching that happen is having it happen to you, the sensation a hit first-person survival game attempted to simulate. Now, the effort to bring the feel of a horror movie into a video game is going full circle with a movie adaptation by some of the genre’s most trusted names.
