8 Video Games From The 2000s That Deserve A Film Adaptation

Terrifying in its own distinct way, yet incredibly morally demanding, The Suffering movie could be a significant departure from the archetypal horror films that we are so accustomed to.

The story focuses on a prison inmate named Torque, who is on death row for the supposed murders of his wife and children. What makes the game stand out is its inclusion of supernatural and demonic threats, which existentially conflict with Torque's inner demons.

A protagonist on the road to redemption for past misdeeds is an almost overused trope within storytelling. The Suffering is prime material to go in a different direction, beyond the terrifying monsters that hunt Torque over the course of the game. How about ending the movie with Torque being irredeemable after finding out that he did in fact kill his family? The Shutter Island-like twist, or 'the monster was me all along' in I Am Legend's alternative ending, could send the IP catapulting into mainstream film discourse.

Get a director on board such as Guillermo del Toro who knows how to handle the monster design, in addition to streamlining character development (à la Blade II) , and The Suffering can potentially be one of the best horror-inspired films in years.
