Inspired by: The Thing, Event Horizon, Alien

Whether you’re a fan of John Carpenter’s bonafide classic The Thing or Paul W.S. Anderson’s critically maligned Event Horizon, it’s clear that Visceral Games’ 2008 survival horror masterpiece is a glorious reanimated Frankestein-esque monstrosity that owes many of its debts to a plethora of sci-fi pics on the silver screen.

From the nightmarish monster designs of the deadly necromorphs, to the dark, haunting hallways of the USG Ishimura, to the top-notch writing, audio design and voice work, there’s a myriad of cinematic influences that permeate throughout the core moment-to-moment action-horror of Isaac Clark’s arduous space journey.

From top to bottom, Dead Space is an undisputed survival horror classic and, like all those gruesome reanimated necromorphs that stalk you on your terrifying adventure, it deserves to be resurrected in some shape or form on current generation consoles.

Come on, EA — sort it out!
