Movies based on video games suck. This is almost a universally accepted truth. And for very good reason, as watching the likes of Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li is basically the celluloid equivalent of getting hemorrhoids. In your brain.

You know what? I love horror movies. No, that isn’t right. I love GOOD horror movies, none of this Hollywood Poltergeist remake 3D rubbish. Don’t get me wrong, Hollywood has made some damn fine horror movies, like the original aforementioned Poltergeist but for every Shining there are twenty other Jessabelles out there. So let’s turn to Austria for a moment and the (apparently) messed up …
