Representing Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Poland, Turkey, and the U.S., last year’s SXSW hosted the World Premiere of the anthology The Field Guide to Evil, which we’ve confirmed will be releasing in limited theaters and on VOD platforms March 29, 2019.
The film focuses on dark folklore. Created to give logic to mankind’s darkest fears, these stories and others laid the foundation for what we now call the horror genre.
Spinning tales in Field Guide to Evil are Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy, The Lodge), Peter Strickland (The Duke of Burgundy, Berberian Sound Studio), Agnieszka Smoczynska (The Lure), Katrin Gebbe (Nothing Bad Can Happen), Can Evrenol (Baskin, Housewife), Calvin Reeder (The Rambler), Ashim Ahluwalia (Miss Lovely), and Yannis Veslemes (Norway).
The film was the very first equity crowd-funded feature in America, generating $500,000 of funding from 255 equity investors.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the film’s opening credits.
“The inspiration behind The Field Guide to Evil opening credit sequence was to utilize woodcuts associated with folklore and then animate them,” said Ant Timpson (ABC’s of Death), the film’s producer. “The vision was executed flawlessly by my mates at Bunker in New Zealand. The sequence also features Karl Steven‘s original creepy score which perfectly sets the film’s tone immediately as the opening credits roll.”
