![]() ![]() There are multiple scenes of a stiff puppet being thrown at characters or across the screen, often through a vent covering as it either escapes or pops onto the scene. ![]() The adult version of the creature is a little cool, resembling a sort of dragon insect version of the xenomorph queen from Aliens, minus any articulation of any kind. Even Singer’s robot sidekick, though no longer a second-rate Star Wars stormtrooper, now is obviously just a guy in tights wearing some BMX padding that’s been spray-painted gray. In fact, Dead Space is a bonafide bore and a lesser film than its source material in almost every way. While there are more lady scientists in the cast this time, in a cruel twist of fate for Singer, the sex and nudity is significantly reduced here, as is the gore, as is the cool music, as is the intrigue. ![]() Marc Singer is now the leading man, and he makes slightly more sense than Jesse Vint as a lady scientist-banging space mercenary.

Gaming has been a regular hobby for the director especially as he's focused less on helming projects himself lately.Starring: Marc Singer, Laura Tate, Judith Chapman He's also been busy exploring other games in his spare time, enjoying Bethesda's online RPG Fallout 76 and the more recent Horizon: Forbidden West.
