‘Inception’ Meets ‘The Shining’ in This 93% RT Horror Nightmare Taking Over Streaming
With video game adaptations currently experiencing a purple patch on the big screen, an unexpected new movie is gaining word-of-mouth traction at home. Last week saw the release of Mortal Kombat II, which grossed around $65 million worldwide in its opening weekend. The action sequel was released only a few weeks after The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which remains the year's top-grossing film and is on the verge of passing the coveted $1 billion mark worldwide. The two big-budget video game adaptations overshadowed what was easily the most acclaimed recent video game adaptation, and we're not talking about YouTuber Markiplier's self-funded and self-distributed hit Iron Lung. The movie in question holds a "Certified Fresh" 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the highest-rated video game adaptation of all time.
