2011 ·1h 25m · ★ 5.9 (185)

The year is 2509 and not only has Earth lost contact with the Ishimura and Isaac Clarke, but now also the USG O'Bannon, the first responder ship sent to rescue them. Four crew members of the O'Bannon have survived. But what happened to the rest of the crew? What were they doing? What secrets are they keeping? All to be revealed...in the Aftermath! --- Dead Space: Aftermath is a fast paced, horrifying thrill ride told through the perspective of the four survivors by several renowned international directors. Dead Space: Aftermath is an animated film that bridges the storyline between the video games Dead Space and Dead Space 2.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic animated nightmare that dives into the psychological wreckage behind a doomed rescue mission in the Dead Space universe.

  • Four distinct directorial visions collide, crafting a fractured narrative that mirrors the chaos and paranoia of space horror.
  • A must-see for fans of sci-fi body horror and Lovecraftian cosmic dread — the Necromorph designs remain grotesquely effective in animation.
  • Serves as a narrative bridge for Dead Space gamers craving deeper lore and character backstory beyond the games’ jump scares.
  • The animation’s grimy, industrial aesthetic echoes the original’s practical-effect-inspired design, preserving that tactile sense of unease.
