Horror master Dario Argento lends voice to Dead Space

Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980) are classics of the genre that should be required viewing for any fan of gory, scary flicks. He was also considerably involved in George Romero's seminal work, Dawn of the Dead, as a producer and the editor of the European release.

In a quote from the release, Argento says, "Dead Space truly captures the essence of fear in an entertainment medium." Considering the source of that statement, horror fans have one more huge reason to be excited for the game.
