Canadians make a lot of special effects driven movies, but
they’re often for Hollywood producers. Genre films made with Canadian dollar
aren’t particularly rare, either, but good ones often are. The works of David
Cronenberg, Splice, Enemy, Pontypool, and most recently Les affamés, which must be the contemporary hallmark for great Canadian horror,
are standouts. These titles are arguably auteur-driven films rather than genre
pieces, and few of the films in between aren’t memorable. But they shouldn’t be
the exception to the rule.
