The Coen brothers and David Lynch walk into a pet store… That might sum up Wrong rather nicely… It’s hard to believe that we’re coming up on the end of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival already, it seems like we just got under way! Tonight’s second feature was the next offering from Quentin Dupieux,…

Toronto After Dark – Sushi Girl – Kern Saxton
I almost feel like I should apologize to everyone involved with Sushi Girl, because I am not sure that my writing is anywhere near good enough to describe how freaking amazing this film is! Tim turned to me the moment the end credits hit the screen and proclaimed it his favourite of the festival,…
Toronto After Dark – Dead Sushi – Noboru Iguchi
Wednesday night is Sushi Night at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, the first film was Sushi Girl, a wicked little crime thriller (which currently stands as my fave film of the festival so far), while the follow-up film, Dead Sushi, is the latest in the Japanese gore/horror/comedy trend from the makers of Robo Geisha…
Toronto After Dark – My Amityville Horror – Eric Walter
This documentary was one of the films I was most looking forward to seeing at Toronto After Dark this year, and while it was a little different than I’d expected going in, it gave me far more than I’d dared hope before the end credits rolled! Based on the events of the most famous…
Toronto After Dark – Resolution – Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead
Resolution is a twisted updated take on the mysterious, oft-visited genre of the cabin in the woods, and was the second feature tonight at Toronto After Dark’s film festival. Often funny, very creepy, and with enough questions to make you wonder what’s really going on, Resolution is a ride that bounces through a variety of…
Toronto After Dark: Grave Encounters 2 – John Poliquin
The first found-footage Grave Encounters film became somewhat of a YouTube sensation when it went viral in 2011, so naturally its success prompted a sequel to be made, but trying to re-create and top what made the first movie so much fun would prove to be the real challenge behind making the second one….
Toronto After Dark – Citadel – Ciaron Foy
Monday night. Not only am I back to work but I’m doing double features all week too! Toronto After Dark tackled a couple of scary titles tonight with Grave Encounters 2 (really liked the first one, the second one did some world building but didn’t engage me and seemed to take too long) and an…
Toronto After Dark: Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning – John Hyams
To my recollection, I’d only seen the first instalment of the Universal Soldier franchise when I walked into this latest version last night, but I remember loving it when I was younger – and what’s not to love, really? Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren kicking ass, taking names and, occasionally, blowing stuff up? …
Toronto After Dark – After – Ryan Smith
Take a little of the small town spook of Stephen King, a splash of dark scare of Clive Barker and a dose of the magic and wonder of Amblin era Steven Spielberg and you may have a general idea of what to expect from Toronto After Dark’s presentation of After. Ana (Karolina Wydra) and Freddy (Steven…
Toronto After Dark – Lloyd the Conqueror – Michael Peterson
Canadian geek comedy finds its way into the Toronto After Dark Film Festival with the Live Action Role Play comedy – Lloyd the Conqueror. Lloyd (Evan Williams) a likeable if a little dim fellow with a very 70s feathered hair style and his friends, Patrick (Jesse Reid) and Oswald (Scott Patey), are having a bit…
