US entertainment mag explores NZ's "mini horror boom"

In Variety this month, "Kiwi horrormeisters" Chris Graham (The Ferryman), director-writer Jonathan King (The Tattooist, Black Sheep) and scribe Matthew Grainger (The Tattooist) discuss NZ's "mini horror boom". "We've always done the odd horror film, starting with Peter Jackson," says NZFC head Ruth Harley. "New Zealand's own market can't possibly support our films so we have to find a way that the world will buy our films," says King. "It's a way of making something that gets noticed in the rest of the world."
