The Pixelated Predator

In this Halloween Special episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we boot up a forgotten horror classic from the 90s that tried to merge the world of CD-ROM gaming with the gory thrills of slasher flicks. A video game spin-off was in the works, but the plans crashed like a corrupted file when the movie failed to load up big numbers at the box office. What should’ve been a cutting-edge experience instead got stuck in the loading screen of obscurity.

This film promised plenty of sick practical effects, but like deleting important game files, the censors cut a ton of gnarly gore from the final release. It’s a shame because teenage horror fans were definitely hoping for more carnage in their gameplay! However, the film’s writer hit the save button on his career, going on to write cult hits like Se7en and 8mm, along with a spiritual sequel to this film called Hideaway. Looks like he rebooted his career in a big way.

So, get ready to insert the disc and download the twisted behind-the-scenes stories as Jerry takes you through this overlooked gem. If you’re nostalgic for the days of cyber-ghouls, creepy storylines, and missed opportunities in horror history, this episode is sure to reboot your spooky season vibes. Prepare for a Halloween deep dive that’ll make you wish this flick had gotten the full expansion pack it deserved!
