Kier-La Janisse

Canadian film director and critic, Kier-La Janisse, was born in 1973 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Active since the early 2000s, her work primarily sits in the realm of horror and genre cinema, with notable films including "Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the '70s" and "Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror," although she hasn't won major awards at film festivals. Janisse's authorial style is marked by a deep passion for genre films, a meticulous attention to detail, and a knack for insightful cultural critique.
