Films featured in "Nightmare in Canada: Canadian Horror on Film"

"Nightmare in Canada is a one-hour television documentary that tells the story of Canada’s horror film industry. Canadian horror films not only have a distinct look and style but explore themes of fear and dread. To combat the stereotype of bland or aloof Canadian cinema, this documentary offers uncovered gems from film history. Canadian horror tends to be more story and character driven focusing on themes like man against nature and fighting the evil that comes from within as opposed to the Hollywood tradition and obsession with monsters and masked men. A wide range of interviews will examine the phenomenon of Canada’s horror film legacy."

Canadian Horror 2004-present — 3 years ago

This list dates from 2004, so any more recent films don’t really have a place on it. However, I think there are still worthwhile Canadian Horror films being made.

I just want to recommended Pontypool (2009), a pretty cool movie about a zombie-style outbreak in a town told entirely from a point-of-view confined in a radio station. Directed by Bruce McDonald.
