Eight of this generation’s best genre filmmakers explore the folklore, mythology and even cryptozoology of their homelands in this fright-filled, globe-hopping anthology.

From Greece to America, Hungary to India, Field Guide to Evil comes from the demented minds of the people behind Deathgasm (MIFF 2015) and ABCs of Death.
