The Vicious Brothers


The Vicious Brothers are Canadian-American filmmakers Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz. They are best known for writing and directing the cult horror film Grave Encounters, and for writing and producing its sequel Grave Encounters 2. They also wrote and produced Extraterrestrial, which Minihan solo directed.
In 2015, The Vicious Brothers had premiered their 15-part anime called Temple which was based on The Guest screenwriter Simon Barrett. In May of the same year, Minihan and Ortiz had announced that they were making Grave Encounters 3: The Beginning; however, it was quietly cancelled shortly after due to lack of public interest.
In February 2020, a reboot of the 1998 slasher film Urban Legend was announced to be in development, with Minihan writing and directing.
