The Story
In a future where an event known as the Quiet Rapture made every star and habitable planet disappear, a convict is sent to explore an ocean of blood on a lifeless moon. His only tool is a tiny submarine nicknamed the Iron Lung, and what is outside it is anyone’s guess.
Verdict
Markiplier turns a cult video game into a feature film almost entirely set in one cramped room, and the film is at its best when it stays there. The look of the submarine and the blood ocean is the star, and the sound design makes every creak and bump count. At over two hours, it is long for such a small space, and the pace tests your patience. But if you like slow, claustrophobic cosmic dread, it delivers a very distinct atmosphere.
