eco-horror?

Hey -

A guy I work with asked me if there are horror films that have focused on ecological issues - I rattled off a few I could think of off the top of my head - but then went blank. . ..


help?? (as the official office 'horror film geek' - my rep is on the line here)

Blood Car, The Ruins and The Happening are a few new ones

and a few good scifi flicks that have an eco-thriller element to them

Silent Running
No Blade of Grass
Soylent Green

Of all the Godzilla movies, this one fits the eco-horror bill the best:
