Maneater (film series)
Appearance
Maneater is the name given to a series of made-for-television natural horror films produced by RHI Entertainment for the Sci Fi Channel, now called Syfy, and distributed by Genius Entertainment. Per the deal, made in October 2006, the first ten films would premiere on the US based channel in 2007[1], however the first six films in the series actually premiered in Canada on the video on demand channel Movie Central on Demand first due to a pre-licensing agreement.[2][3] Most of the early films in the series were filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[4] Since it was original started, however, RHI has continued adding new films to the series, most of which continue to premiere first on Syfy before being released to DVD.
