\"Martha<\/p>\n

The 2022 World War II horror game Martha is Dead<\/a> is the latest video game getting a film adaptation. The game\u2019s Italian developer LKA, is partnering with production company Studios Extraordinares to bring the psychological adventure to the big screen.<\/p>\n

Martha is Dead is a first-person adventure that follows identical twin sisters, Guilia, the protagonist, and Martha. Set in Tuscany in 1944, during the final stretch of World War II, the sisters are fathered by a Nazi general and have a strained relationship due to the clear favoritism Martha receives from their mother. However, Martha is suddenly found dead, and their mother mistakenly believes Guilia to be Martha, forcing her to assume her late sister\u2019s identity. Supernatural occurrences abound centering on the malevolent entity known as the White Lady.<\/p>\n

The film follows the same premise. Studios Extraordinares is led by screenwriter\/directors Andr\u00e9 Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson, and the company\u2019s website states it\u2019s a \u201ccreative powerhouse writing and making high-end action, horror, and science-fiction films from original stories and extraordinary games.\u201d The studio is also working on bringing last year\u2019s sci-fi horror game Fort Solis<\/a> to TV and film, as well as a movie adaptation of the upcoming horror shooter Veil<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t particularly enjoy what Martha is Dead had to offer as a gameplay experience. In his review<\/a>, editor Wesley LeBlanc scored the experience a 6 out of 10, writing, \u201cLKA\u2019s love of Italy is the only warmth I felt in Martha is Dead. The rest left me feeling as cold as Giulia\u2019s dead sister.\u201d Given the recent success of video game films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/em><\/a> and Five Nights at Freddy’s<\/em><\/a>, here\u2019s hoping Martha is Dead can achieve even a fraction of that success. Or, at the very least, we hope it makes for a better movie than a video game.<\/p>\n
