Iron Lung Trailer Revealed for YouTube Star Markiplier’s Horror Directorial Debut

YouTube star Markiplier has released a trailer for his feature-length directorial debut Iron Lung, based on the indie horror game of the same name.

Mark’s the Iron (Lung) Man

The Iron Lung trailer shows Markiplier (Mark Fischbach) emerging from a sea of blood as a narration by Mick Lauer plays over an ominous score by Andrew Hulshult.

Iron Lung the game is a short indie horror title from developer Dave Szymanski (DUSK). Set in a post-apocalyptic future where an event known as The Quiet Rapture caused all known stars and habitable planets in the universe to disappear, a convict is sent to search an ocean of blood discovered on a desolate moon, using a midget submarine nicknamed the Iron Lung. The convict discovers the crimson deep may hold something deadly.

When creating the blood ocean, Markiplier claimed this would have the most blood of any horror movie ever. That was a claim given some weight when the YouTuber went to hospital in April after getting too much claret in his eyes.

The movie stars Mark Fischbach (who also writes the screenplay), Elle LaMont, Caroline Kaplan, and Seán McLoughlin (Jacksepticeye). Its soundtrack will be composed by Andrew Hulshult, and the producers are Mark Fischbach, Will Hyde, and Jeff Guerrero.

Markiplier wrote that Iron Lung would be coming soon, but gave no definitive release date. It will get a theatrical release, which will be a first for the director who has created various shorts and series on YouTube.
