In past years, you had to wait until late fall in order to enjoy the best in genre cinema at one of the premiere genre festivals. This year though, Toronto After Dark is flipping the script and giving us a taste of the terror during patio season and the results promise to be spectacular for fans!

The party starts tonight with a special presentation of Cuban director Alejandro Brugués zombie epic JUAN OF THE DEAD. Fans will be treated to what promises to be a unique blood and brain bath set against the gorgeous scenery of Havan. Lovable loser Juan can’t seem to make things work for himself until an undead epidemic unleashes his inner capitalista and he starts a business disposing of your reanimated loved ones.

The revolution begins tonight at 7pm at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto!

It doesn’t stop there though! Second up in the double feature is the Canadian premiere of Nicholas McCarthy’s THE PACT, a tense and terrifying-looking haunted house story in which “a young woman returns to her childhood home and begins to uncover unbearable family secrets as she encounters the dreadful presence in the house. You might wish festival programmers had saved this one for the early show so you can get to sleep tonight because this thing looks scary!

The nightmare begins at 9:45!

If you are in the Toronto area, you simply cannot miss this. Hit up the festival website and get your tickets now! Better yet, get the full Summer Screenings pass and save on seeing the entire lineup!

Come hang!
