There’s Nothing Out There

The lost-in-the-wilderness horror genre is a gloriously oversaturated market which both plays to our basic fears and our willingness to indulge them. In this collection of non-fiction, seventeen writers share passion pieces on some of their favourite films and celebrate the beautiful, often foolish art of being lost: whether literally, spiritually or figuratively.
Covering classics such as The Blair Witch Project and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to the lesser-known In Fear and Arctic Void, together with a smattering of Ozploitation flicks, these essays examine why the genre is so beloved by moviegoers, and how such films resonate at our core long after the lights have come back on.
