Anchor Bay was kind enough to send me a copy of one of my favorite movies from last year, which I saw when it screened at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival… American Mary starring Katharine Isabelle brought to us by the Twisted Twins Jen & Sylvia Soska. It recently screened as part of Sinister…

Manborg (2011) – Steven Kostanski
Anchor bay has recently released this to DVD so that the rest of the world can see what has become an undeniable cult favorite, which verges on the utterly ridiculous (in a great way!). I won’t tell you plot details, it’s better to enjoy it all as it happens, preferably with friends and imbibing. But…
Hot Docs: Shooting Bigfoot – Morgan Matthews
I want to believe. I’ve always wanted to. I like the idea that the legends and stories of monsters and creatures of unknown origin can exist in our world, it adds mystery and excitement to things. Growing up I would read about UFOs, aliens, Loch Ness, ghosts, and bigfoot. These ideas fascinated me, and from time…

Grave Encounters 2 (2012) – John Poliquin
Also releasing from Anchor Bay this week on blu-ray and DVD, the follow-up to the much talked about horror film, Grave Encounters.

Hitchcock (2012) – Sacha Gervasi
Good evening. I love movies. I love movies about making movies. I also quite love Hitchcock movies. So this one seems like a winner all around, and I was not disappointed. Featuring a script by John J. McLaughlin working from the book “Alfred Hitchcock and The Making of Psycho” by Stephen Rebello, Gervasi, marking his first…
Toronto After Dark Film Festival – Tim’s Tops
So The Mind Reels’ first year covering The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has come to an end, and it was FANTASTIC! Now that it’s over I thought it would be nice to compile my top 5 films of the festival. I want to be clear, I could have happily included A Fantastic Fear of…
Toronto After Dark: A Fantastic Fear Of Everything – Crispian Mills, Chris Hopewell
This was our first year covering the Toronto After Dark Film Festival as press, and while I personally had very little control over or choice in the screenings I was able to take in versus the ones I would have to miss, I don’t think I could have planned anything better for myself than…
Toronto After Dark – Game of Werewolves – Juan Martinez Moreno
Somehow we’ve reached the end of this year’s Toronto After Dark Film Festival, it went QUICK! The film that closed out the event, and who’s trailer did not do it any justice at all was Game of Werewolves, a delightful little horror-comedy, though placing it after a Simon Pegg comedy may not have been the way to…
Toronto After Dark: In Their Skin – Jeremy Power Regimbal
In most cases, home invasion movies have a way of getting under my skin more than other horror or thriller films, just because they are much more personal to me. Anyone who’s ever come home to find that someone else has been in their house – or is perhaps still there – knows that the…
