"Suffering" On The Big Screen.

It looks like another video game property is heading to the big screen. MTV Films and Stan Winston (FX master) will be bringing the action-horror game The Suffering to the silver screen. The original game was released in 2004, with a follow-up game being released this month. The game revolves around the character Torque who is a death row inmate who becomes trapped in a hell on earth as the prison falls into ruin and is filled with monsters and ghosts, most of which are based on execution method's. The game was very graphic and pulled no punches as you wandered the halls in search of a way out. One of my favorite parts of the game was when you check a video camera, the camera switches to a view of your character and there is a monster coming up behind you, but when you switch the camera off the beast is gone. Hopefully the movie will capture the claustrophobic and creepy feel of the game. With Winston handling the FX we know the monsters will look great. No cast or release date has been posted as of yet.
