It's a pity. A "Dead Space" movie had the potential of being truly scary, but that's not the case of "Dead Space: Downfall". [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

There's nothing bright and sunny about Dead Space: Downfall. It's brutal, unrelenting, and savage. Bodies are torn, eviscerated, and mutilated ... This is no kids' show. Go to Full Review

Jun 7 I liked it :) the necromorph behavior was a little confusing compared to my prior knowledge but it was an enjoyable watch with visual appeal to match. See more Sean G May 15 Dead Space Downfall is one of the scariest prequels to the games ever loved the animation the main protagonist and seeing how this took place before the first game was excellent 👌 the voice acting was great and it's ending made me feel empty and then I played the first game after seeing this movie and yet still a good prequel and set up to the first game 10/10 See more Itsnot H May 1 ITS sooo underated and yall gotta watch it See more Bogdan M 04/18/2024 Dead Space Downfall falls short of expectations, delivering an okay-ish experience at best. While attempting to expand upon the game's universe, the execution lacks the intensity and depth found in the game. The animation and storytelling feel lackluster, failing to capture the same level of horror and suspense. Overall, it's a forgettable addition to the Dead Space franchise. See more 12/13/2021 As visceral as it is visually, it helps drive the psychological undertone of contagious insanity. What you see unfold before your eyes is the story of normal behavior from people caught in what could have been a very normal situation. What do people do when rational minds tell you to focus on your work an something just doesn't add up yet? Nobody who still has their sanity lasts long once it starts to slip. See more 02/26/2021 It works more as a companion piece to the videogame than a standalone. Adult animation is not as common so I will take whatever its out there. This one is gory and gets the vibes right. Story is conventional and predictable. See more Read all reviews
