TAD ‘08 features announced
August 27, 2008The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has announced its first 8 titles for this year (Oct. 17-24).
Two jumped out at me immediately: Red, a story about revenge starring the always wonderful Brian Cox…
and Let The Right One In, a Swedish vampire film based on the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist…
If you are a Facebook member, you can see all 8 hi-res trailers here. Otherwise, g’wan over to the TAD site to watch ‘em.
I attended last year and I gotta say I hadda blast. I was really impressed with this upstart fest: it was well organized, the programming was international in scope, it included short programmes as well as features, it cut a pretty wide swath of genres (horror, SF, documentary, animation, cult, musical, and unpredictable combinations thereof), and it attracted thousands of patrons who weren’t averse to a little grue. Or a lotta grue, for that matter. 
Plus, it dovetailed with the annual Toronto Zombie Walk! Beat that, TIFF!
Wow - those look really good!!

I agree. In fact, I’d say they look better than anything that screened at TAD last year… They’re a whole different class of film. Nice to see the festival widening its grasp. There’s still room for the “cult” and low budget indies as well as these. With the horror genre, you have to use a very wide pan to find the occasional nugget.
