Once upon a time, as a wee, but not too wee, laddie, I bought a comic called “Spawn #1.” I really liked it, and then proceeded to buy Spawn #2-#30. Then, in 1997 a movie came out, and I was excited. I went to the premier with my dad, sat behind Marilyn Manson, and have the limited edition Spawn ring to prove it. Unfortunately, that movie was an enormous steaming pile of hell-turd; it had some redeeming qualities, and was at least visually interesting, but it didn’t do the characters justice. A reboot has been planned for well over a decade now, and all but the most faithful have written it off at this point.
A group of fans have seemingly gotten tired enough of waiting to simply go and try to do it themselves, and their interpretation, Spawn: The Recall is creepy, hellish, and captivating.
This is what Spawn should have been in the first place. This eight-minute film is all that the makers have done or planned, but I’m seriously hoping that this gets the accolades that it would take to get a full story told in a longer format. NOT SO SUBTLE HINT: If this was on Kickstarter, I’d give you money.
If you haven’t played any of the Uncharted games, you are really missing out. If you have played them (and most of you reading this have) then you know how good of a story it is. Uncharted fan morphinapg has created an awesome Uncharted trilogy, using footage from the games and turning it into three separate, feature-length movies.
Playing Uncharted is like being inside of a great movie anyway, so he edited clips together from the games and created these movies. These are full-length so you are going to need some spare time. As a matter of fact, the third is over 3 hours long. If you have some time to kill, these are fun to watch.
If you don’t plan on ever playing the games, just watch these and you will have the same experience, without buying the game or ever holding the controller.
Hopefully, Naughty Dog and Sony will allow these clips to remain live, but you should watch them soon, just in case their lawyers decide to pull them down.
