Interviews include directors Richard Stanley (Hardware), Nacho Cerda (Aftermath), Todd Morris and Deborah Twiss (Gun for Jennifer), Jim Van Bebber (Charlie’s Family), Mariano Baino (Dark Waters), and Deep Red Magazine editor Chas Balun. For those who are interested on what goes on behind the scenes with some of the genres most talented independent directors, IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST is an exclusive look at the hardships of those who choose to express themselves within the horror genre. The goriest documentary to ever be completed with the participation of the National Film Board of Canada.
