Ahead of its nationwide release on February 25, Encore Films Philippines brings fans closer to the indie horror-sci-fi sensation directed, produced, and starring Mark Fischbach, globally known as Markiplier.
Internet icon Markiplier brings the cult horror game “Iron Lung” to cinemas. Originally developed as a minimalist indie horror game, it gained a massive following for its claustrophobic setting, unconventional storytelling, and deeply unsettling premise. Its popularity surged through the creator community—especially after Markiplier’s viral gameplay introduced it to millions, cementing its place in modern internet horror culture.
Watch the trailer:
Iron Lung follows a convict sent on a dangerous mission to explore a desolate moon. In the film, Markiplier plays Simon, a convict welded into a tiny, rusted submarine called the “Iron Lung.” Set in a post-apocalyptic future after an event known as “The Quiet Rapture,” which caused all known stars and habitable planets to vanish, Simon must navigate an ocean of blood on the barren moon AT‑5. The story brings the game’s tense, claustrophobic, and psychological horror to life on the big screen, keeping fans on edge as they experience the terrifying mission through Simon’s perspective.
Despite being a low-budget indie production and marking Markiplier’s filmmaking debut, Iron Lung achieved remarkable success thanks to its dedicated fanbase, earning $17.8 million during its U.S. opening weekend across 3,015 cinemas. Early viewers praised the film as a faithful and intense adaptation of the original game, capturing its suspense, gripping fear, and relentless thrill.
