The New Horror Handbook

A renegade band of directors have renounced the cartoon trappings of recent horror flicks and reclaimed the genre for a new generation of fans. Their work is darker, nothing is off limits, and every frame is as beautiful as its contents are disturbing. The New Horror Handbook is based on exclusive interviews with the leaders of this movement, including Eli Roth (Hostel, Cabin Fever), Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, Rogue) among others.

Cube: Inside the Making of a Cult Film Classic

Growing up shooting Super 8 movies in Toronto’s High Park, Vincenzo Natali and Andre Bijelic exploded onto the international film scene with 1997’s Cube, a sci-fi/horror film about 6 people trapped in a maze of death; its repercussions are still being felt cinematically today. This book reveals the complete story of how these childhood friends brought a convincing, futuristic vision of hell to the big screen for less than $1 million in Canada, far from the Hollywood studio system.
