Se7en reference


On the first level when you find the girl, anyone else notice all the car air fresheners hanging from the ceiling like in Se7en with the Sloth victim? Thought it was a pretty cool way of making the place creepy.

reply

Yeah, I was actually looking for the word sloth to be painted on the wall. The song playing was kinda creepy too!!!

This game seems to have a lot of references, the bighotel reminded me of "the shining" with all it's ghosts and such. Plus The mission where they were going to the guy reminded me of the movie with Ice T, surviving the game i think?

There was no 'SLOTH' but if you look on the desk in that room there are photos of her with 'bitch' painted in her blood. very nice!!

Did anyone recognize the Red Dragon symbol from Red Dragon in seafood massacre.

That movie and the level are based on the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell in which a bored british general/big game hunter starts trapping people and letting them loose on his island while he hunts them.

here are some more movie refrences. on the 'traditions of the trade' level, you can get a box of roses with a shotgun concealed inside, the idea and the animation when you pull out the gun is alot like in terminator 2. Also if you go down to the cordened off wing of the hotel and look through the keyhole in the room that the cops in, he is doing a "you talking to me" thing in the mirror, like Travis in taxi driver!

reply

Also the last level was very Leon-esque... (The Professional, Jean Reno). I also thought the aforementioned meat-king level, where you find the girl, also had a Twin Peaks flavour? The girl wrapped in plastic, the music...

He's not doing a "You talkin' to me?" thing, he's looking at the ghost that appears in the mirror. You can see the ghost in the mirrors in the dark part of the hotel and floating through the hallway where that room with the cop in his undies is.

Can somone please give me a full list of the mobie references and where to find them, E.G, where is the Red Dragon reference

reply

"The first level was fantastically dark!"

yes that is the perfect way to describe this game. this game really goes above and beyond what is "ok" to put in media. The amount of details in the game is also spectacular.

oh man that room with the dead girl scared the crap out of me!!!! I got out of there as fast as I could!!!

reply

I just remembered that the shotgun in the roses bit was used in both Terminator 2 and Hard boiled (so it's hard to place who took the credit because both movies were in production simultanious). But I guess a movie before that used it...

reply

I will start the list, people can just add them later on.
Terminator 2: Shotgun in box of roses
S7ven: Air fresheners in the room where the client's dauther is in the meat king level. The really fat Meat King might also be a reference to one of the victims in S7ven.
Blade: Party in a slaughterhouse.
Léon: Assassin is being attacked by SWAT team and corrupt French police man.

reply

Gun in Box of Roses was done by Hard Boiled, which was filming at the same time as Terminator. Odd coincidence.

Prime Cut & Blade: The Meat King's Party
Leon: The WHOLE last level. Even how you can escape using SA is like Leon..dressing like one of their dead SWAT guys...fantastic.

According to Wiki/IMDB the Gun in a Box of Roses also appeared previously in Stanley Kubricks "The Killing" and Sidney Lumet's "Dog Day Afternoon" (see both those films very well done), I didn't notice it was flower box in the godftaher I thought it was just a blank cardboard box.
