From the same studio behind "SAW" comes a movie adaptation of the Outlast video game.

Horror fans, rejoice! Lionsgate and Red Barrels have officially announced that they are bringing the terrifying Outlast universe to the big screen. The critically acclaimed video game franchise, known for its chilling atmosphere and disturbing storytelling, is set to become one of the most harrowing film adaptations in the genre.

Since its debut in 2013, Outlast has terrified players worldwide with its blend of psychological horror, stealth mechanics, and immersive storytelling set in abandoned asylums, sinister cults, and inhumane experiments. The upcoming film aims to capture that same essence, plunging audiences into a relentless nightmare.

While details regarding the cast and plot remain under wraps, sources close to the project suggest that the movie will draw inspiration from the events of the first game, where journalist Miles Upshur investigates the eerie Mount Massive Asylum and finds himself trapped in a waking nightmare. However, elements from Outlast 2 and The Outlast Trials may also be incorporated into the film’s narrative.

The project will be overseen by Philippe Morin, co-founder of Red Barrels, ensuring that the adaptation stays true to the essence of the games. Meanwhile, Lionsgate, known for its work in the horror genre with franchises like Saw and The Cabin in the Woods, promises to deliver a spine-chilling cinematic experience that remains faithful to Outlast’s unsettling atmosphere.

With the recent success of video game adaptations such as Five Nights at Freddy’s and The Last of Us, Outlast is poised to become one of the most terrifying entries in the growing trend of game-to-film adaptations. While no release date has been announced yet, horror fans can prepare for an unforgettable and nerve-wracking journey into the world of Outlast on the big screen.
