Just outside a quaint little Irish coastal town, a green comet of sorts crashes into an ocean. A fishing boat goes to check it out, thinking it was a flare, and the crew is quickly killed by some sort of creature. So begins the opening film of the 2012 Toronto After Dark film festival, which…
One of the fun time wasters of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was “TIFF Bingo.” The game was a mix of traditional bingo and a scavenger hunt, in which you you check off boxes such as “Atom Egoyan Sighting” or “Vote for People’s Choice” and you would tweet your progress to a hashtag. While…
We are mere days away from the start of the 2012 edition of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival! Beginning on Thursday and continuing on to the 26th, Toronto After Dark will be invading the Bloor Cinema with the best of horror, action, sci-fi, and cult movies. This will be fourth year attending the festival…
After that little bit of fun I had this morning, it is time for me to run down the entire line-up of this year’s Toronto After Dark film festival. This year will feature Toronto After Dark’s biggest line-up, consisting of 20 films over nine days. The first half of the line-up was announced in late…
We are just about three weeks away from the start of the Toronto After Dark film festival. The full film list is set to be revealed later today and we can get ready for some genre film goodness in late October. It’s probably no secret that Toronto After Dark was inspired in part by the…
The Toronto After Dark Summer Screenings was an interesting experiment to see if people would attend Toronto After Dark screenings outside of the yearly festival. Based on the turn-out (including the sell-out crowd for the Canadian premiere of V/H/S), I would have to say that there is definitely an audience for year-round Toronto After Dark-hosted…
The headliner of the Toronto After Dark summer screenings was undoubtedly the Canadian premiere of this found-footage anthology horror film that sold out the Bloor Cinema with 700+ in attendance. The film features five segments, and a framing story, each directed by a different indie horror director. The framing story, directed by Adam Wingard (You’re Next), has a group…
The second night of the Toronto After Dark Summer Screenings kicked off with one crazy comedy. Detention is not an easy film to describe because it is trying to be many things at once. On one hand, the film is a very campy and crazy teen comedy that is filled to the brim with cultural references….
The second film to be screened at the Toronto After Dark Summer Screening’s last night was the Canadian Premiere of the haunted house film The Pact. Of the two films screened, this is the film I have decidedly more mixed feelings on. The film is about a woman named Annie (Caity Lotz), who returns to…
Last night was the first of two special “Summer Screening” nights for the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. This series provides a sample of the Toronto After Dark experience in anticipation for the full festival, which runs this year from October 18-26. The first film screened was a special presentation of a film that I…
