Arrow Films
Continuing its mission to unearth the very best in weird and wonderful horror obscura from the golden age of US independent genre moviemaking, Arrow Films is proud to present the second volume in its American Horror Project series co-curated by author Stephen Thrower (Nightmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents).
Starting off with a little-seen 1970 offering from underrated cult auteur John Hayes (Grave of the Vampire, Garden of the Dead), Dream No Evil is a haunting, moving tale of a young woman's desperate quest to be reunited with her long-lost father – only to find herself drawn into a fantasyland of homicidal madness. Meanwhile, 1976's Dark August stars Academy Award winner Kim Hunter (A Streetcar Named Desire) in a story of a man pursued by a terrifying and deadly curse in the wake of a hit-and-run accident. Lastly, 1977's Harry Novak-produced The Child is a gloriously delirious slice of horror mayhem in which a young girl raises an army of the dead against the people she holds responsible for her mother's death.
With all three films having been remastered from the best surviving film elements and appearing here alongside a wealth of supplementary material, American Horror Project Volume Two offers up yet another fascinating and blood-chilling foray into the deepest, darkest corners of stars-and-stripes terror.

Great Collection for B-Movie Horrorfans
While I would only recommend two of the three films, I think that this collection is definetly worth a buy. What I find great about all the movies is, that these aren’t just american made low-grade slashers wich haven’t been noticed yet, instead every movie tries to be something more, but with differing success. „Dark August“ and „The Child“ are really worth a watch, while „Dream no evil“ starts out great but becomes kind of a drag towards the end. The Extras of all the films on the other hand are fantastic. Especially the background for „The Child“ I found very interesting.
