A feature-length anthology film. They are known as myths, lore, and folktales. Created to give logic to mankind’s darkest fears, these stories laid the foundation for what we now know as the horror genre.
The Field Guide to Evil premieres this week at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. The first two showings will be Sunday (3/11) at 11:55 PM, Monday (3/12) at 11:15 PM, and a final time on Friday (3/16) at 11 AM.
The film features the creative efforts of eight filmmakers from all over the globe. These dark pieces of folklore explore tales of possession, curses, love, lust and envy.
The diverse roster of directors includes the talents of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy), Peter Strickland (The Duke of Burgundy), Agnieszka Smoczynska (The Lure), Katrin Gebbe (Nothing Bad Can Happen), Can Evrenol (Baskin), Calvin Reeder (The Rambler), Ashim Ahluwalia (Miss Lovely), and Yannis Veslemes (Norway).
