What is Iron Lung all about?
Iron Lung was adapted from an indie horror game by David Szymanski, a game that Markiplier played on his channel and really enjoyed. It marks his directorial debut, with Szymanski starring in a cameo role.
The premise is simple and is set in one claustrophobic location. A convict named Simon is sealed inside a submarine where he explores a sea of blood believed to hold vital resources needed to sustain human life after a cataclysmic event called The Quiet Rapture. If he succeeds in his mission, he will get his freedom.
Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, this sea and the vessel Simon pilots are far scarier than he could have imagined, making for a tense watch.
Although we mostly follow Markiplier as Simon, there is a great supporting cast including Troy Baker, Elle LaMont, fellow YouTuber jacksepticeye and Rahul Kohli.
