comment
Dead Space: Downfall is a Direct to Video animated movie. Set in the Dead Space universe, it serves as a Prequel of the first game, going into detail about what happened onboard the USG Ishimura prior to Isaac Clarke reaching it.The Red Marker is brought onboard the Ishimura. Meanwhile, the colony on Aegis VII is attacked by Necromorphs. One of the colonists escapes with the corpse of his dead wife and heads to the Ishimura, unaware that his wife is turning into a Necromorph. Onboard the Ishimura, the Unitologists want to worship the Marker, and start to otherwise go insane.The colonists ship crashes into the Ishimura and the Necromorph escapes, eventually making its way down to the ship's morgue and infecting all the bodies down there. A team of crew members, led by chief of security Alissa Vincent, try to fight their way from the morgue to the top of the ship in a desperate bid to call for aid.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 Dead Space: Downfall / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Vincent is this to a tragic degree. She insists on trying to help the colonists on Aegis VII when it is revealed they're being slaughtered, is eager to render aid to any survivors who might have arrived on the shuttle, and throughout the entire movie she remains convinced that she can still save Ishimura and her crew (thus botching Dr. Kyne's attempt at crashing the ship), although it's increasingly obvious that it is too late for that. In any other work of fiction, those actions would come of as reasonable and noble - but this is a Dead Space movie we're talking about, so she only succeeds in making things worse.

Adaptation Expansion: In the first game, a recording of Captain Mathius' death is garbled, leaving it ambiguous whether Dr. Kyne stabbed him in the eye unintentionally or did it on purpose. The movie expands upon this and makes it pretty clear that it was an accident.

The Un-Reveal: It is unknown who is the person who jettisoned the Ishimura's escape pods as Kyne (who admits in the game that he was behind some of the ship's sabotage) is still in the room when it happened and Captian Mathias (who is presumed to be one who sabotaged the Communication Array) had just been killed. The 2023 remake hints that Brent Harris was behind the sabotage under Dr. Mercer's orders, before he fully transforms into the Hunter.

comment
Guns Are Useless: The security team's sidearms do precisely jack against the Necromorphs. This is justified as the games establish that you need to cut limbs off to kill Necromorphs, which the security team doesn't know. Even then, their standard issue sidearms are woefully underpowered compared to the weapons you carry around as Isaac.

 Dead Space: Downfall / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: Kyne, for a given definition of "sane", and to a lesser extent Vincent. Both are the only two characters to remain completely rational throughout the film. Vincent gets a lower rank because she's a bit too Genre Blind for her own good or that of others. She only comes to her senses after having sabotaged Kyne's first attempt, and by then it's too late. Samuel Irons is this among the Unitologists. He single-handedly prevents the crowd gathered near the Marker from rioting and later aids Vincent and her team in attempt of containing the situation.

Foregone Conclusion: Even when the movie takes a few liberties with the plot, anyone who has knowledge of the first game knows how this will end. Almost everyone dies and the ship is lost to the monster infestation. Even the opening scene lays it all out by showing Vincent's final recording declaring her the only remaining survivor.

Played straight with Vincent - at least until the end. She is the head of security on Ishimura and the only person (with possible exception of Dr. Kyne) who remains level-headed throughout the entire movie. Come the final part of the film though and this gets deconstructed, as her strong sense of duty and discipline leave her incapable of realizing the Necromorph outbreak is beyond her ability to stop; by the time she finally realizes saving the ship is a lost cause, its already too late to matter.

Jennifer is in her underwear while walking across broken glass, complete with a close-up on the shards digging into her bare feet. And that's not counting the bloody lacerations across her arms, legs, and torso. Or the way that she claws at her own flesh. Or her Dissonant Serenity the whole damn time. Oh, and then she slashes her own throat with a laser pick. And then to add insult to injury, an Infector gets what’s left of its hands on her and turns her into a zombie.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Pretty much everyone who tries to fix the situation on the colony or the Ishimura inevitably makes it worse: Colin's attempt to get his wife to safety aboard the ship only ensures the infection spreads there. Admittedly, it's heavily implied he'd been driven insane by grief. Although the full implications aren't seen until the first game, Dr. Kyne's attempts at sabotaging the ship only succeed in making a subsequent protagonist's job much harder than it needed to be. Vincent thwarting said attempts, which would result in destruction of Ishimura along with the Marker and the Necromorphs, thus preventing the events of the game from happening in the first place.

Reality Is Unrealistic: The plasma saws don't cauterize injuries like you'd think because the superheated gas would cause an injury quite similar to a bullet wound but stretched out accross a limb/body as it would flash-heat the water in their cells, leading to the Necromorphs (and poor Shen) bleeding like stuck pigs (which we see).

comment
Cerebus Retcon: The retcons to the nature of the Marker in Dead Space 2 heavily alter the tone of this story, particularly Vincent's sacrifice. To whit, in the first game and originally this movie, the Marker was a good thing that was suppressing the Hive Mind, so therefore preventing Kyne's scuttling the Ishimura was the right move. In Dead Space 2, it was changed so that the Marker was the cause of the Necromorph outbreak and so destroying it would have instead been the correct choice. This changes Vincent's death from heroic to unnecessary.

Shaming the Mob: Irons breaks up an angry protest by the Unitologists on the Ishimura who're clamoring to see the Red Marker. One reasonable speech later, he's convinced them to improve the public perception of Unitology by not rebelling against the captain's orders and leave the Marker alone until they get permission to view it.

Leeroy Jenkins: For all her reason and rationality, Vincent does have shades of this, especially when she insists on sending her team to the surface of Aegis VII as the colonists are being slaughtered by Necromorphs. This kind of emergency would require a military intervention, while Vincent — mind you — is just a leader of a small, poorly armed security team on a commercial vessel, way over her head and with absolutely no idea what she's dealing with... but she's still utterly convinced of her ability to handle the situation. Captain Mathius seems like the reasonable one compared to her at that moment, even lampshading what a "brilliant idea" it is to jeopardize the ship and crew's safety by just charging in blind.

Heel Realization: After witnessing the effects of the Marker and the infection, Dr. Kyne realizes that the Unitology church had been lying to the Ishimura crew about everything. He then sets out to sabotage the ship to ensure the infection doesn't spread beyond the Aegis system. Vincent seems to have this by the end, realizing all her efforts to save the ship and it's crew were for nothing and that destroying the ship (which she'd already interfered in Kyne's attempt to do) is the only way to ensure Earth stays safe.

All for Nothing: Vincent's sacrifice is rendered pointless because something, possibly the Marker, ensures her final log is too garbled to be understood by the crew of the Kellion. Adding insult, in Dead Space 2 and Dead Space Aftermath, the Unitologist and the Earth's Government covered up the entire Ishimura incident and blamed it on terrorists.

Danger Takes a Backseat: While Colin was preoccupied getting the deceased Jennifer back home, he was unaware they had picked up a stowaway Infector that went to work on her while on-route to the Ishimura. This results in Colin being attacked and killed by his newly infected wife just as they make it into the Planetcracker's shuttle bay.

Zigzagged with Captain Mathius. When he learns that something is killing the colonists on Aegis VII, he tries to prevent it from spreading to Ishimura and refuses Barrow's shuttle to land. While this decision may seem cold and ruthless, it's actually more sound than Vincent's insistence on helping the people on the planet's surface and those aboard the shuttle. However, Mathius's other actions — like his obstinacy on delivering the Marker to Earth at all costs — paint him in much less positive light and make him come off as a crazy fanatic.

Fan Disservice: A young woman, wearing only a Modesty Towel, is seen being stabbed and killed without the towel so much as coming undone, though we do get a brief Panty Shot. What we do get to see is a fat man's fully uncensored penis. Jennifer is in her underwear while walking across broken glass, complete with a close-up on the shards digging into her bare feet. And that's not counting the bloody lacerations across her arms, legs, and torso. Or the way that she claws at her own flesh. Or her Dissonant Serenity the whole damn time. Oh, and then she slashes her own throat with a laser pick. And then to add insult to injury, an Infector gets what’s left of its hands on her and turns her into a zombie.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: At one point, the Ishimura experiences odd turbulence after cracking the planet. The crew is unsettled, so Captain Mathius tries to calm them down by explaining that it's a normal result of the planet's EM field being disrupted by the cracking. But even he doesn't look entirely convinced and it's left ambiguous if it really is that or something to do with the Marker.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Played straight with Vincent - at least until the end. She is the head of security on Ishimura and the only person (with possible exception of Dr. Kyne) who remains level-headed throughout the entire movie. Come the final part of the film though and this gets deconstructed, as her strong sense of duty and discipline leave her incapable of realizing the Necromorph outbreak is beyond her ability to stop; by the time she finally realizes saving the ship is a lost cause, its already too late to matter. Zigzagged with Captain Mathius. When he learns that something is killing the colonists on Aegis VII, he tries to prevent it from spreading to Ishimura and refuses Barrow's shuttle to land. While this decision may seem cold and ruthless, it's actually more sound than Vincent's insistence on helping the people on the planet's surface and those aboard the shuttle.

comment
Continuity Snarl: The movie timeline runs much faster than is implied to have happened in the game; the game's audio logs suggest the Sanity Slippage took days to manifest alongside the Necromorphs and a little longer after for the monsters to overrun the ship. Other differences include the Marker being much larger and the Necromorphs being unable to approach it. Though that may be because it has use for Vincent. Multiple characters from the game and their actions during the Ishumura's infestation are omitted; this includes Dr. Challus Mercer and his experiments on Brant Harris, Elizabeth Cross trying to contain the Leviathan Necromorph in Hydroponics, Jacob Temple trying to keep the engineering crew together, Comms Officer Bailey implying Captain Mathius might have blown out the communications array, and CEC Executive Warren Eckhardt's presence as a VIP-guest on the ship and co-conspirator of Captain Mathius in wanting the Marker brought back to the Church of Unitology. The patient Dr. Kyne treats is revealed in Vincent's files to be named Hans Leggio. In the games, the only patient mentioned to have been brought up from the Aegis VII colony to the Ishimura was a man named Brant Harris - and only because Dr. Mercer and Dr. Kane hoped he could give them insight into the dementia cases breaking out on the planet. This discrepancy is never even referenced, much less addressed. The Necromorphs shown in the film can be killed by getting cut in half or beheaded. In the game, doing that couldn't be further away from killing them. The average Slasher can continue to function without its head, and is at least capable of pressing on with both legs amputated. This movie shows all of the Ishimura's escape pods being launched, making escape impossible. However, in the game there's still a pod left on the bridge that Hammond uses to seal away a Necromorph and which later kills the crew of the USM Valor.

Multiple Gunshot Death: Vincent and her team kill their first Necromorph this way, unloading tons of bullets on it until it finally goes down. It's an Establishing Character Moment for the Necromorphs in this movie, as it shows that just aiming for center of mass with regular weapons is very inefficient - it takes the entire team shooting for several seconds just to have the monster die, and it's already killed a teammmate of theirs beforehand.
