Movies by Colin Minihan

Colin Minihan is a visionary Canadian filmmaker who has carved out a distinct niche in the horror and science-fiction genres. Alongside his longtime collaborator Stuart Ortiz, Minihan makes up the filmmaking duo known as the Vicious Brothers, whose work is marked by a bold, unsettling style and a willingness to explore the darker corners of the human psyche. Minihan first made a splash with the cult hit Grave Encounters, a found-footage horror film that takes audiences on a chilling journey through a haunted asylum. Building on this success, he has continued to push creative boundaries, directing the atmospheric alien abduction thriller Extraterrestrial and the nerve-wracking survival horror It Stains the Sands Red. His most recent work, the tense psychological thriller What Keeps You Alive, further solidifies his reputation as a master of slow-burning suspense and unsettling character studies. Minihan's films often grapple with themes of isolation, trauma, and the fragility of the human condition. His distinctive visual flair, marked by a moody, atmospheric tone and an eye for unsettling imagery, lends his work a sense of unease that lingers long after the credits roll. With his latest offering, the genre-blending Coyotes, Minihan once again demonstrates his ability to subvert audience expectations and craft truly captivating, genre-defying cinema.
