10 Video Game Movies That Could Genuinely Work

10. Prey

The new Prey was an entertaining idea that could have been refined into a far better one with enough time. However, one thing that it demonstrated expertly, was its merit for being made into a movie.

Picture an 'Alien' style horror movie with a group of people trapped on a space station. It would be heavily science-fiction with the movie making good use of the creative weapons that the video game offers. It would be your standard space horror schtick.

But, the true appeal of the movie would be in the visual way that it could portray horror. Lots of still frames and controlled shots in which the backgrounds subtly change as mimics move back and forth, turning into different items. The horror of watching and picking apart the background would be what made the movie work. It would take the video game mechanic and weave it into an entirely visual medium.

It would take a lot of creativity to get it just right, but it is the perfect game to make into a movie simply because the movie would be using the lack of interactivity to create a new way to engage the audience.
