This March, a terrifying new horror anthology from the producers of THE ABC'S OF DEATH will be released to theaters across America and all digital platforms. The film, THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL, was the very first equity crowd-funded feature in America, generating $500,000 of funding from 255 equity investors. A new poster and trailer for the film debut today and you can check them out below!
The film features segments by killer talent such as Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (GOODNIGHT MOMMY, THE LODGE), Peter Strickland (BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO), Agnieszka Smoczynska (THE LURE, FUGUE), Katrin Gebbe (NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN, PELICAN BLOOD), Can Evrenol (BASKIN, HOUSEWIFE), Calvin Reeder (THE RAMBLER), Ashim Ahluwalia (MISS LOVELY), and Yannis Veslemes (NORWAY).
Here's a quick rundown on FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL:
Eight of the most exciting new voices in international horror were asked to draw upon the folklore of their country, reimagining a legend through their own unique (and often twisted) creative lens.
Here's what producer Ant Timpson has to say on the film:
We approach creating a project like this as fans. What do we want to see first and foremost. Then we assembled a team of filmmakers we felt to be among the most interesting new voices in horror on the planet. We can’t wait for audiences to explore these diverse and dark paths they’ve created.
Paul Scanlan, co-founder, and CEO of Legion M adds:
Being a fan-owned entertainment company, we're not only financially invested in FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL but our fast-growing community of 70,000 members and investors are empowered to share our project with the world so they can experience it with us. FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL was one of Legion M's earliest investments and we have been eagerly awaiting this opportunity to activate our proven experiential meet-up model across the country, which will eventize screenings and feature cool perks like exclusive FIELD GUIDE merchandise for all meet-up attendees.
In addition to Tim League and Ant Timpson, who produced the successful ABCs OF DEATH franchise, THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL was executive produced by investors Christos V. Konstantakopoulos (BEFORE MIDNIGHT, THE LOBSTER), Keith and Jess Calder (ANOMALISA, BLAIR WITCH, YOU’RE NEXT), and Legion M, the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company (MANDY, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT). The film is being distributed by SuperLtd and will be released in select theaters and all digital platforms on March 29th. What do you think? Let us know below!
