Live Action Alan Wake: The Taken (Fan Film)

While writing his latest novel, Alan Wake receives a notice that his girlfriend, Alice, is in dire trouble. He speeds off to where he thinks she is. Alan doesn't know what to expect. He finds himself deep in the woods with nothing but a flashlight. The author is overcome with a sudden chill and pain in his head as a heavy dark haze suffocates him. In trying to save Alice's life, he finds himself struggling for his own survival...

This was filmed in ONE day, mostly one LONG night. It was edited in about a week's time. All the editing/visual effects were done by John Baxter.

Awesome fan film, IndyRiot! It's truly an honor to watch something based off of Alan Wake that's had so much effort and time put into it, like you have done. Thank you!! - Peter "ADM" Papadopoulos, Community Manager, Remedy Entertainment.

@RemedyGames Hey thanks Peter and RemedyGames! That truly means a lot to us! We're huge fans of the game and really hope we did it justice.

Nothing screams "horrifying badass" like an Aero t-shirt.

I agree aswel, the first thing i noticed that i didn't think fit properly was the music score.. i did however like the scene where the actor who plays Alan uses the flare *when all the taken are surounding him *very cool*. oh and to TheAultmondol.. Markalackie wasn't being a hater.. he was just gving them his opinion :p all in all really good job and i hope you guys continue to make more Alan wake short films :)

[markalackiie]

In all honesty the music score ruined the video for me it did not in any way fit the alan wake atmosphere. Just felt like a generic action movie.

@ylwsub68 Hater!!! They dont have million dollar budget asshole...dont watch if u dont like.

[MrShaiGuy]

Not bad.
