“I Am the Law”: How Dredd (2012) Captures the Spirit of the Judge Dredd Mythos

-
Image
In the long shadow of comic book adaptations, Dredd stands as a lean, gritty, and faithful tribute to one of the most iconic antiheroes in comic history: Judge Dredd. Far removed from the neon kitsch and narrative misfires of the 1995 Judge Dredd film starring Sylvester Stallone, Dredd is a stripped-down, brutal, and grounded take on the lawman of Mega-City One. But more than just a hard-edged action flick, Dredd is deeply embedded in the lore and philosophy of the original 2000 AD comic series. Dredd is a film that doesn’t just adapt the character it’s portraying —it understands him. The being that would become synonymous with the faceless reality of justice first appeared within 2000 AD issue #2 back in 1977, and was the brainchild of writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra . Conceived during a time of political unrest and growing authoritarianism, Judge Joseph Dredd was a dark satire of fascism wrapped in the skin of a futuristic law enforcer. Set within Mega-City One, ...

Novel Review - The Horus Heresy: Horus Rising

-
Image
The seeds of heresy are sown… Horus Rising was my first foray into the novels that depicted the wider Warhammer 40K universe. While what would be later known as the Horus Heresy is a well known plot point that drives the 40K table-top narrative, aside from a brief overview we’ve never fully explored the galaxy-wide civil war that fractured the might of the Imperial regime.  Quite often talk of Horus’ betrayal was often left over to the related Codexes, or in my experience the 2nd edition rule book. Here, Games Workshop would set the scene with talk of how Horus - the Emperor’s most favourite son - turned against his father and instigated a civil war which saw nearly half of his fellow Adeptus Astartes legions follow suit and turn traitor with him. With the Horus Heresy novels, we’re now get the nitty gritty of this betrayal. It’s also a betrayal that’s spread across in excess of 60 books.  Horus Rising is the opening chapter within this vast collection and it’s writer Dan Abne...

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 Review – Springtrap, Lore, and the Game’s Chilling Mechanics

-
Image
From the very first night, Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 makes it clear that it is not trying to repeat the same tricks as the earlier games. The frantic juggling act that defined how the original 2014 Five Nights at Freddy’s game changed horror and the chaotic energy of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is gone. In its place is a slower, more calculated form of fear. There is only one enemy who can kill you, but he is the most dangerous yet. This is Springtrap, a rotting green rabbit suit that contains the corpse of William Afton, the killer whose shadow has hung over the series from the very beginning. Instead of managing doors, masks, and a swarm of threats, FNaF 3 gameplay focuses on three key systems. Cameras let you track Springtrap’s position. Audio devices lure him away from your office by playing childlike sounds. Ventilation keeps you from blacking out when phantom animatronics fill your vision. Any one of these systems can fail without warning, forcing you into the control panel to pe...
