A descent into madness: Spanish Gothic Style
Spain’s horror film industry had a huge comeback in the 90′s with directors such as Álex de la Iglesia, Jaume Balagueró and specially, Alejandro Amenábar; a new generation of young directors demonstrating that there was a lot more going on in Spain’s cinema besides Pedro Almodóvar‘s already famous melodramas. The nightmarish nights and the urban decay of Spain’s big cities, the grim and ghostly memories of the country’s troubled past and in particular, that characteristic black humor that Spaniards domain very well. These have become the main ingredients of that tasty mix producing the dark fantasies of Spain’s new horror films.

Two different movies with two different results
For the vast majority of horror fans, filmmakers Argento, Romero, Carpenter and Craven are very well respected figures in the history of horror cinema, having shaped the genre in the last half of the 20th century.
