tadff2014 The 2014 edition of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival ended up being its most successful.  Breaking through in its ninth year, this year’s edition of Toronto After Dark had a record 13 sellouts, which helped prove how this year’s line-up was of a particularly high quality.  Even though there were a few films that I was underwhelmed by, there was nothing that played at Toronto After Dark this year that I outright disliked.  In fact, a few of the films that I saw ended up to be very pleasant surprises.  Next year is the tenth anniversary of Toronto After Dark and I expect that the festival will grow even more in the years to come. Without further ado, here are my top films of this year’s festival. Top Five Feature Films
