The other show I had to catch up on after Toronto After Dark was this week’s episode of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as demonstrated from week to week, the stories and character continue to get stronger and more enjoyable. This week, we learn a little bit more about Skye (Chloe Bennet), though we’re still left on…

Toronto After Dark: Big Bad Wolves (2013) -Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado
Toronto After Dark finished up last night with the Israeli film Big Bad Wolves. A film that is being considered for their official Academy Awards submission, and hailed as Quentin Tarantino’s favorite film of the year, it had a lot to prove to the closing night audience. The film follows a cop, Miki (Lior…
Creation Entertainment Salute To Supernatural Toronto 2013
My first experience with a Creation Entertainment event was back in 2007 for their first ever salute to Firefly and Serenity. I’d tried to go to a different Firefly con the previous year, and it was cancelled the day it was supposed to start, but Browncoats are the shiniest, and out of the ashes…
Toronto After Dark: The Banshee Chapter (2013) – Blair Erickson
The Scary Night programme of Toronto After Dark came to a frightening close last night at Scotiabank, with the film I have been most looking forward to all festival, The Banshee Chapter. Using the 1950s MK Ultra experiments (something I only learned about because of The X-Files initially) as its launching point, the story follows a…
Toronto After Dark 2013: Found – Scott Schirmer
Gore night at Toronto After Dark got going with the little indie gem, Found. Directed by Scott Schirmer, the film opens with a young boy, Marty (Gavin Brown) telling the viewer that his older brother, Steve (Ethan Philbeck) keeps human heads in his closet. He goes on to tell us very matter-of-factly about how…
Toronto After Dark: Evil Feed (2013) – Kimani Ray Smith
Gory Night continued last night with the second extreme feature, following the coming-of-age, serial-killer is my brother film, Found, with Evil Feed. The film centers on a Chinese restaurant that kidnaps martial artists, forces them to fight in a cage match, and the loser, properly tenderized by the beating, is served up as dinner to…

An international crew of scientists an astronauts has been living in a small research colony on the surface of Mars for the past six months, conducting experiments and searching for signs of life.

Sci-Fi night at Toronto After Dark, graciously hosted at Scotiabank Theatre this year, continued with a late night screening of the UK science fiction flick, The Machine, starring Toby Stephens, Caity Lotz, and Denis Lawson. Using Blade Runner, Terminator and the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica as its launching point, a number of the festival organizers were chatting…
Toronto After Dark 2013: Odd Thomas – Stephen Sommers
Before I get into last night’s early feature at Toronto After Dark, I want to say a quick blurb about the short film that screened before it. Every year, a Canadian short will screen before each feature film of the festival, and last night’s film was paired with a wicked little short by Adam…
