There are more horror films being made today than ever before in history. No, the studios might not be churning them out like they used to, but that has never been, as bookies are fond of saying, where the action was. It has been in the underground, on the fringes, and outside of the usual Hollywood influences. The reason Night Of The Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and other first time/early efforts are so potent is because they arrive in front of audiences untainted, pure of the artist, and with the only consideration in their creation being…their creation. This independent spirit doesn’t need heaps of money to achieve realization, and as such, indie horror has been a gateway into “the business” for as long as cameras have been rolling.

MADRID -- Spanish distributor Filmax said Thursday that it will handle worldwide sales for Spanish production Hipnos, produced by DeaPlaneta. The two Barcelona-based distributor-producers said that Hipnos, directed by David Carreras, fit the sales slate and international profile of Filmax's forte -- genre films. "From the beginning, we thought that this was the kind of film that would appeal to Filmax International, and with their presence in the international market, we are certain that this will be a great partnership," DeaPlaneta CEO Agusti Mezquida said.
