We are getting a stream of excited emails from Midnight Madness supporters who we have asked to give their top 3 picks from this year's line-up. Adam Lopez, Festival Director and Head Programmer of Toronto After Dark Film Festival chimes in with his picks:

Sexykiller
"I just love the idea of a female serial killer, and the fact that it's from Spain probably means it'll have a little extra Euro flair to it. Plus nods to Taxi Driver? Count me in for this ride!"

The Burrowers
"The fact that this film is a part-Western, part-monster movie mash-up, from the director of another cult midnight flick (S&Man), already got me interested. Then I read something comparing this film to one of my favourite critters in the countryside films, Tremors, and that got me hooked! Can't wait to see what these beasties look like, and what they do the poor folks on the range."

Eden Log
"Vive La France! Wow the French sure are really making some of the most interesting genre films these days. While I'm sure a lot of my peers are picking the horror flick Martyrs as the Midnight Madness flick they are all juiced for, for me the Franco film I'm most buzzed about is Eden Log. Sci-fi horror is probably my favourite sub-genre of all. I just love dark visions of the future and this post-apocalyptic nightmare flick seems to be right in that zone, with references to some of my favourite filmmakers who cary a very distinctive sense of style with their genre films - Jeunet & Caro (City of Lost Children, Delicatessen), Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain) and Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element). Can't wait!"
