“Dark Corner is the new destination for thrilling experiences helmed by some of the most innovative filmmakers working in VR today,” said director and founder, Guy Shelmerdine. “While most entertainment VR apps offer a mixed bag of content, our goal is to deliver a highly curated selection of exhilarating experiences to a specific audience that loves genre in all its forms.”

Featuring both free and paid content from Dark Corner Studio as well as other filmakers, the Dark Corner app, is available for iOS, Android, Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream, and Oculus Rift.
