Apparently there’s a new genre of film burgeoning: animated horror movies. The business model actually makes sense, as the filmmakers only have to animate a compelling trailer and then find the proper funds to actualize the movie. Given the steadily decreasing costs of animation, and the steadily increasing costs of live productions, these films seem like an evermore viable option. Not to mention the gore, blood and violence is tempered only by the questionable imagination of the film makers. Of course, we’re not talking Avatar here — the human faces still look absurdly robotic. Still, I’m interested to see if any of these will see full production daylight.

Check out the trailer to two such films, AD (above) and the transcendentally violent Blood Trail after the Jump…
