About: The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only individuals aboard space stations or starships were left to give the end a name — The Quiet Rapture. After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Consolidation of Iron has made a discovery on a barren moon designated AT-5. An ocean of blood. Hoping to discover desperately needed resources they immediately launch an expedition. A submarine is crafted and a convict is welded inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean the forward viewport has been encased in metal. If successful, they will earn their freedom. If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition. Based on the video game of the same name by David Szymanski.

This was financed, written, directed, and edited by Mark Fischbach (aka Markiplier). Following is a statement he gave to Variety about the film:
They said it shouldn’t be done. Not that it couldn’t be done, people have made movies before, just that it would be ‘woefully unwise’ to tackle writing, directing, acting and editing a movie myself. Showed them. My bathroom might be a render farm now but I can’t wait for people to see the blood, sweat, blood, tears, blood and blood that went into this movie from everyone involved.
He also said about the movie that it holds a world record “for most blood in a horror movie. Or any movie for that matter”. It arrives in theaters for a limited engagement starting January 30th. A streaming/on demand premiere has not been set yet.
