In Vaulted Halls Entombed
In the eighth episode of Love, Death & Robots Season 3, Delta Zero Three is on the hunt for hostages who have been led into a dark cave. With sundown imminent, they’re going in dark and forced to rely on their night-vision to get through this alive. ..
In the cave, they find strange lichen up on the wall, and a dead body on the floor. The only thing left are the skeletal remains and a spatter of blood. Something has happened to them and we soon find out what.
The squad is attacked by a sea of flesh-eating spiders, which kill several members in a matter of seconds.
The survivors find two insurgents, which Sarge kills in cold blood from afar.
As the three soldiers struggle to survive against a large, mechanized insectoid creature, they are faced with a choice: release the creature or kill it. Sarge turns on Harper, who then kills the creature with several bullets. Afterward, Sarge and Harper stare in shock at the creature, which has now become a giant insectoid.
In a shocking turn of events, Harper has had her eyes gouged out by an unknown assailant in the middle of the desert. She is left staggering through the choking sand, desperately trying to communicate with whatever alien life forms may be around her. We fade to black as this horrifying story unfolds. ..
The Episode Review
In Vaulted Halls Entombed, the developers have blended ideas from House of Ashes, the Dark Pictures game, and The Descent to create an interesting episode. This delightful cocktail combines to create a really interesting episode with a lot left to the imagination. ..
This creature is Harper. It was found in the city and it wants to take over Harper’s world. Many people are theories about its origins, but I’m sure there are many more that will be revealed in the coming weeks. What does this creature want with Harper? We’ll soon find out!
This episode is great because it’s very photorealistic and well written. There are a lot of clever details in the lighting and show dust particles kicked up in the air. The CGI is absolutely amazing and it’s a testament to how far this artform has come.
