Watch ‘The Field Guide to Evil’ Anthology’s Opening Credits [Exclusive]

Published

on

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.”

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
