It also doesn’t help that each of these characters are entirely without any redeeming qualities. "Well, this is easily the least comfortable game of Twister I've ever played" It’s harder then to care much about the well-being of the film’s main characters when you know they’re going to end up pegging it before long. Of course, this being a prequel to the Dead Space video game, which sees you arriving at the Ishimura and finding everyone dead with Necromorphs still running riot, it should be fairly obvious to most people watching Downfall that nobody’s going to make it out alive by the end of this one. It’s left to a small group of surviving workers to destroy the mutants, save the Ishimura and figure out what the alien artifact is supposed to be. Predictably, shit goes down and various poor sods end up coming face-to-face with their own spleens. The Necromorph virus spreads throughout the Ishimura, turning the ship’s workers into mutants. "This is the last time I take the bins out on curry night" Not before a ship infected with a Necromorph manages to get inside the Ishimura though, infecting the Ishimura with the mutant menace. After a colony on the planet Aegis VII asks for advice on an alien artifact they’ve found, the Ishimura nips down to the planet and takes it on board. Enter Dead Space: Downfall.Ī prequel to the original game, Dead Space: Downfall is an animated movie explaining how the SS Ishimura, a mining ship, ends up being infested by the monstrous Necromorphs. Since the games start with you onboard a ship that’s already been infected with said mutants and had its crew sliced to bits however, it seems there’s a lot of story to be told about how the situation got so messy. If you haven’t played the Dead Space series of video games you’re missing out on a bunch of petrifying, immersive survival horrors that combine the isolation of outer space with the terror of big bastard mutant alien things.
