Coming Soon: Harbinger, a Mixed Reality Machinima Horror Mini-Feature With Scary Premise, Great Voice Acting

Set for a Halloween debut, Harbinger from machinima veteran Phaylen Fairchild promises mixed reality thrills from a eerily plausible premise. Here's the morbid and moody trailer, incorporating great voice acting and real world video footage:

The movie was inspired by Phaylen's own experiences online: "As technology evolves and the veil is lifted on anonymity in virtual worlds, people have developed this false sense of security," she tells me. "I remember the rules of chat rooms as a young adult, rules that every responsible surfer lived by for their own protection. They never gave real information, not their name, not specifics of any sort and certainly no confidential details. That's all changed now that we inhabit and operate 3D avatars. People are much more comfortable today. The guard is down. I kept thinking, 'Man, all it's going to take is one crazy.'"

With Harbinger, Ms. Fairchild looks like she's delivered the crazy. More on the machinima after it debuts on October 30 (hopefully.) Mark it on your calendar... in blood.

Much thanks to Toxic Menges, no machinima slouch herself. Toxic's tip turned me toward this terrific terror!
