TAD 2014: Dead Snow 2: Red Vs. Dead Review
Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead Dead Snow 2 has director Tommy Wirkola returning to the property that launched him to international recognition, his Nazi Zombie horror comedy Dead Snow, but this time Wirkola and his co-writers Stig Frode Henrikson and Vegar Hoel aim for a different take on the material. Martin (Hoel) is the […]

The Tale of Princess Kaguya is a hand drawn dream, a truly beautiful and thoughtful fairytale.
The Best of Me Review
Dull, tedious, and preachy, The Best of Me is the worst Nicholas Sparks adaptation yet.

TAD 2014: The Babadook Review
The Babadook If you previously had any complaints that this was a particularly weak year for horror films, the wait for the scariest film of the year has ended. It’s the rare kind of scary movie to make people feel for the safety of those around them and stay up all night. Proceed with caution […]
TAD 2014: Wyrmwood Review
Wyrmwood Blending Austrialian genre classics Dead Alive and Mad Max into a generally pleasing package, the apocalyptic zombie-ish thriller Wyrmwood – a labour of love made over the course of several years by the brotherly duo of Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner – might not be breaking any new ground thematically, but it’s certainly bringing the […]
TAD 2014: Predestination Review
Predestination The latest film from Michael and Peter Spierig (Undead, Daybreakers) manages to be the duo’s best yet: a reworking of the Robert Heinlein short story “All You Zombie” that feels right at home alongside similarly minded time travel crime thrillers Minority Report and Looper, coming out slightly better than the latter and not quite […]
TAD 2014: Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter Review
Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter While a major hit at Sundance earlier this year, this offbeat psychological drama and character piece doesn’t exactly scream out to the Toronto After Dark crowd. It’s thoughtful, slow moving, austere, and has very few major jolts to it. Then again, the similarly low key Let the Right One in was […]
TAD 2014: The Drownsman Review
The Drownsman The Drownsman is a simple, but old school ode to those things that make us jump out of our seats that relies heavily on believable style and largely practical effects. After a traumatic near drowning experience, Madison (Michelle Mylett) develops a crippling fear of water. She’s terrified to even go out in the […]
TAD 2014: The ABCs of Death Review
The ABCs of Death 2 Anthology films are a tough sell on the best of days no matter the genre, but at least ABC’s of Death 2 is a marked step up from the first installment, with more of the best and brightest talents that horror has to offer on board. From A to Z, […]
TAD 2014: Open Windows Review
Open Windows There’s a decent reworking inside of this tech minded thriller, but the latest from Nacho Vigolondo (Time Crimes, Extraterrestrial) isn’t only one of the most sloppily plotted and wholly illogical films of the year, but perhaps even worse is how the film’s the Spanish writer and director are pulling inspiration from were terrible […]
