Perhaps you recently glanced at the internet and saw the fuss about Iron Lung, the indie horror movie that got off to a rip-roaring start last week, elbowing Melania aside to take the number two spot in the US box office charts, thwarted only by horror movie king Sam Raimi’s Send Help. Iron Lung’s success can almost certainly be attributed to its links with mega-popular YouTuber Mark Edward Fischbach – better known as Markiplier – for whom the project’s clearly been a labour of love, given he not only self-funded it, but wrote it, directed it, and starred in it too. But whatever there is to be said about the movie (critical opinion is mixed), its headline-making turn has finally given me the nudge to check out the game it’s based on, having languished on my Steam wishlist for so long. And, yup, it’s a good ‘un.
