On a deep space mining mission to a remote planet, an ancient religious relic - thought to be proof of the existence of God - is unearthed and brought aboard. When the unholy artifact unleashes a long-dormant alien race, its glimpse of Heaven transforms the ship into a living Hell. A prequel to the events of the 2008 video game Dead Space.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
EA commissioned this directly to the animation studio Film Roman, bypassing traditional theatrical distribution entirely—it premiered on DVD and Comcast's horror channel.
The Necromorph designs here are actually more grotesque than the game's polygonal limitations allowed, making this the purest vision of the artists' original concepts.
