Amazing! Thank you so much to everyone who's supported this book so far! New 300-page book available to order on Amazon NOW! Contains reviews of 300 modern horror films, including many obscurities! From ‘Hostel’ to ‘August Underground’ … ‘The Orphanage’ to ‘Martyrs’ … ‘I Saw The Devil’ to ‘Gutterballs’ … Whether it be the extreme terrors of the French New Wave, Spain’s love for a good old-fashioned ghost story, or the influx of no-budget “found footage” pseudo-documentaries favoured by wannabe filmmakers the world over, psychotronic movie output in the 21st Century has been more prolific, and arguably more challenging, than ever before. Author Stuart Willis aims to examine the many trends and sub-genres that have contributed to horror cinema during the last fifteen years. The New Flesh - through the course of an ongoing series of tomes, collectively and over time - is designed to provide a definitive reference guide to the seemingly bottomless pit of movies striving to keep the flames burning in recent years. The New Flesh: Volume 1covers a wide range of sub-genres, as well as highlighting a small number of those twisted non-horror features that fans owe it to themselves to check out. The globe is traversed, and the small-time directors toiling independently are given equal exposure to both old hands continuing to ply their trade - such as George A. Romero and Dario Argento - and the studio-produced bigger affairs. From torture porn through European Gothics, treading through the murky waters of the remake phenomenon and even taking in a spot of animation here and there, three hundred films are covered. All reviews are new and exclusive to this book.Each review offers a brief synopsis, full critique of the film in question, and titbits of trivia - along with nods to the movies of old that provide their influence, examining the legacy of onscreen brutality that has been embraced by contemporary filmmakers while placing their own works in a modern cultural context. __________________________

"Solid Coverage Of The 21st Century's First 15 Years Of Indie Horror"
- Date: April 10, 2015
- Review By: Mark Kevin Savage
Stuart Willis's book is close to a 21st century version of something the late Chas Balun might have written: it reviews close to fifteen years of independently made horror films that are not being written about beyond specialist blogs and horror-specific websites. It's a welcome addition to any horror film lover's library, and an excellent bedside reference you can leaf through at any time.
Mr. Willis, perhaps more so than Balun, is not impressed by films purely focused on gore and dismemberment. He understands that, without exception, the script always counts, and emphasizes intelligence as a prerequisite for good filmmaking. As a pretty keen horror fan myself, I found very few titles absent from his survey, so it was encouraging to see stuff such as THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A PORNO GANG, SERBIAN FILM, DEAD END, LESSON OF THE EVIL, AMER, YOU'RE NEXT, the AUGUST UNDERGROUND film, and THE BUNNY GAME included.
Arthouse gems such as IRREVERSIBLE, EX DRUMMER, MOEBIUS, INNOCENCE, and IN MY SKIN get a thorough critical autopsy also. The 300+ titles are all listed alphabetically, and there's a helpful appendix, too. For those new to the horror game, this is a fantastic launching pad to a fascinating journey, and I surely envy your first experiences with these flicks. Even for the jaded, there are plenty of new discoveries here as well as reviews that sound warnings on films that may kill you with boredom. For the adventurous and plain curious, a solid recommendation.
