Supermassive’s horror anthology emerges from its waterlogged tomb for another night of frights – and its first foray onto dry land. This time the Curator presents a tale of an ill-fated field trip where a number of students get stranded in a town time is slow to forget.

As your co-eds amble through the abandoned town of Little Hope, they uncover its secrets and realise that perhaps it was no accident that brought them here. Echoes of the past begin to dominate the present and threaten to do a lot more than just dash their hopes for extra credit.

Cast in the same QTE-laden mould as Man Of Medan before it, Little Hope boasts some definite improvements over the anthology’s premiere entry – however, the sum total feels like two steps forward and one back.

US, AGAIN?
