"Be careful, Ephraim, the Master plans to use the boy against you." The latest batch of promo videos for The Strain tease a dark new chapter for Eph, who is more determined than ever to take down the Master... so long as a surprise visit from the Feelers doesn't stop him first.
In addition to the new teasers of Season 3, FX also had some fun with two new videos that reimagine The Strain as a 16-bit video game. You can see all of the latest promos below:
"New York City is a battleground as humans fight for survival against the vampire apocalypse. Though our heroes achieve small victories, they are not winning the war. Beset by personal conflicts – betrayal, disappointment, paranoia – the group splinters as the Master closes in on executing an irreversible transformation of the world.
