Canadian filmmakers are often overshadowed by their American counterparts because Hollywood is the hub of the entertainment industry, and the press doesn't give our cousins to the north their dues.
But Canadian creators have been changing the face of the industry for decades, sharing their unique view of the world through visual media, and their visions are often far more interesting than the played out ideas presented by mainstream Hollywood movies.
The Canadian contribution to the horror genre is no less interesting or important, because Canada gave us David Cronenberg, genre influencing films like Cube and Ginger Snaps, and classics like Black Christmas and My Bloody Valentine.
When you're looking for a fright flick to watch this Halloween you should consider going Canadian, and if you like your horror dark and disturbing yet cerebral you can't go wrong with a Cronenberg!
