The premise
A feature-length anthology film. They are known as myths, lore, and folktales. Created to give logic to mankind’s darkest fears, these stories laid the foundation for what we now know as the horror genre.
Horror Vault's take
Spanning continents and centuries, The Field Guide to Evil is an international anthology that resurrects the myths, folktales, and creatures born from humanity's oldest and deepest fears. A collective of visionary directors each bring a different cultural legend to life, grounding horror in the soil of the societies that first whispered these tales. The result is a mosaic of dread that feels simultaneously alien and achingly familiar — as if the stories have always been waiting to be told this way.
