Dead Space is easily one of the highest anticipated games to be released this fall, and definitely the most anticipated horror game. The game’s atmosphere and premise brings chills to my spine, and the beautifully-made trailers don’t help in lowering my anticipation for EA’s latest.

However, not being content with a bone-quaking horror game itself, EA is planning to release an animated film based on the game titled Dead Space: Downfall.

Watch the teaser and continue reading after the jump.

While the trailer above totally reeks of a Batman: Gotham Knight style (which is not necessarily a bad thing) it has a story that predates the events of Dead Space, which is also the storyline for the Dead Space comic series. The film is in production by Dark Horse Comics, whom you might know from the Hellboy Animated films, and is currently scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-Ray shortly before the game releases on October 20th.

To me, this film looks outstanding in both its style and execution, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of it. What do you think about the film?
