The Influence of Dario Argento's 'Phenomena' on Survival Horror Gaming

Luiz H.C. explores the profound impact of Dario Argento's surreal horror film 'Phenomena' on the evolution of survival horror video games. Released in the early 1980s, 'Phenomena' is renowned for its unique blend of supernatural elements and psychological tension, which has fascinated filmmakers and gamers alike. The film’s unsettling atmosphere and nightmarish imagery have laid the groundwork for what would become a defining genre in gaming.

The game's developers drew inspiration from Argento's ability to create an immersive world filled with dread and suspense. The protagonist's journey through a nightmarish landscape mirrors the film's themes of isolation and fear, inviting players to navigate through a labyrinth of challenges reminiscent of the movie's haunting visuals.
