Five directors. Ten questions. Meet the face of The New American Horror.
Sure, the American horror film has never gone away. Far from it. America has long been the prime producer of horror film on the face of the planet. But what we are seeing now is the beginning of a distinct movement within American independent horror, a community of film makers with shared ideals and similar aesthetics.

Anchor Bay Entertainment have announced the UK DVD release of The Graves, the debut feature written, produced and directed by award winning comic book creator and writer and founder of Chaos Comics, Brian Pulido (whose works include Lady Death, Evil Ernie and Purgatori) on May 31st 2010. The film is a gory, blood-soaked shocker that begins in the ‘survival horror’ vein of films such as Wrong Turn, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Staunton Hill, House Of 1000 Corpses and Timber Falls before unleashing an unexpected supernatural twist.
A real crowdpleaser at Manchester’s GrimmFest last year, and at La’s After Dark Horrorfest in January, the film stars horror genre veterans Bill Moseley (TCM 2, The Devil’s Rejects), Tony Todd (Candyman) and Amanda Wyss (the original A Nightmare On Elm Street), alongside relative newcomers and future ‘scream queens’ in the making, Jillian Murray (Cheerleader Camp) and Clare Grant (Black Snake Moan).
