Quality Horror You Might Not Have Heard of
I like horror that is well-made, creepy, tense and different/original rather than mindless gore and torture.

- DirectorBobcat GoldthwaitStarsAlexie GilmoreBryce JohnsonLaura MontagnaA man and his girlfriend camp in the woods to capture firsthand evidence of Bigfoot.Most of the film doesn't try and scare you. Instead you hang out with the two leads, who have great chemistry and are likeable, so you care what happens to them in the end. An awesome film with some tongue in cheek humour.
- DirectorJeremy GardnerStarsJeremy GardnerAdam CronheimNiels BolleThe personalities of two former baseball players clash as they traverse the rural back roads of a post-plague New England teeming with the undead.Likeable characters and hugely enjoyable
