Pics from the Premiere of FINAL GIRLS!

Last nights bittersweet closing night of Midnight Madness 2015 was the biggest party of the whole Festival. Special guests, a surprise encore screening of the crowd-pleasing The Chickening, and a packed Ryerson theatre made for one of the wildest screenings in the Midnight Madness 2015 lineup. Ian Goring was there to snap pics of all the action!

The final line on the final night of Midnight Madness, for The Final Girls.

And that's a wrap, folks!

It's been a slice, blog-readers! From Ian and myself, we hope you've enjoyed and shared these red carpet photos from throughout TIFF and we'll see you next year, barring a vicious attack by Billy Murphy.

Pics From the Premiere of THE CHICKENING and GREEN ROOM!

When you have Patrick Stewart, a batshit remix of The Shining featuring chickens, and the wildest audience in the whole Festival all together under one roof, mayhem is going to ensue. Fortunately for the sorry souls that weren't in attendance last night, or for the Midnighters too bleary-eyed to remember, our intrepid blogtographer (that's a word, right?) Ian Goring was taking shots all night for posterity.



The lovely Alia Shawkat shimmers on the red carpet!

Did you know that Alia Shawkat is in both the opening and closing night films (Green Room and Final Girls) of Midnight Madness 2015? That's c-c-c-crazy!

Anton Yelchin spies something fishy on the red carpet.

My second-favourite Nazi in Green Room, the lovely Imogen Poots!

Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier!

The stylish cast of Green Room!

Kenny! Colin! You boys quit that horseplay or I swear to god I will turn this whole theatre around!

How messed up is it that Kenny damn Hotz is the most traditionally-dressed person in this picture?

Possible future X-Men cast?

Jeremy Saulnier explains the influences behind Green Room as a fan of hardcore music and 70's horror and action films.

Patrick Stewart explains why his Kickstarter for 'the largest and most obtrusive earbuds ever' is not terribly successful.

Double mics! Make it so!

Jeremy Saulnier talks about his twisted vision for Green Room

Never let it be said that Midnight Madness isn't a place of love. Misguided, highly-disturbing love.
If you missed the midnight mayhem, catch a second screening of Green Room and The Chickening  at a very reasonable hour tomorrow!

THE CHICKENING with GREEN ROOM Final Screening Time:
Sat, Sept 12, 2:15 PM BLOOR HOT DOCS

Social Media Buzz for THE GUEST!

When you're like Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett and you throw a bloody, gun-crazy, astounding action film up at Midnight Madness like THE GUEST, people are gonna talk.  And talk they did, on Twitter and Instagram after the Midnight Madness closer sent the Ryerson audience home happy.  Check out what folks were saying about the Dan Stevens thriller!





Sadly THE GUEST has finally packed his bags and left TIFF, but you'll be able to see Dan Stevens in all his cold-blooded glory starting September 17th in a theatre near you!

Pics From the Premiere of THE GUEST!

It's never been Midnight Madness' style to go out, Jason style, without one more kill and last night's screening of THE GUEST joins Festival closers like L'INTERIEUR, KILL LIST, and the original HOSTEL as the latest to end Midnight Madness with a bang (and several knife wounds). Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard's latest sent cheers through the Ryerson audience and it was pretty clear that a couple of people were excited to see THE GUEST himself, Dan Stevens, as well.  Ian Goring was, as always, there to capture the mayhem!

The most dedicated audience at TIFF lines up one last time for 2014!

The lovely Maika Monroe braves the cold for THE GUEST!


THE GUEST himself, Dan Stevens!

Spooooky!

Representing Canada in the cast, Brendan Meyer!


What what, director Adam Wingard throws it up!


Never let it be said that ten days of TIFF doesn't bring out the wacky in directors and stars alike.

I don't know what Adam Wingard is doing here other than 'beer'.  Simon Barrett seems equally perplexed.

What a charming pair - Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe.

The whole crew from THE GUEST!

Adam Wingard jumpkicks the invisible spooky mango tree that grows outside the Ryerson.

That did not end well.

Simon Barrett, Colin Geddes, and Adam Wingard in a rare moment of calm.


...which didn't last long.

I don't know why Adam Wingard was intent on killing his cast with jumpkicks.

Dan Stevens displays his superhuman genetically-superior strength in restraining Adam onstage.



The charming Dan Stevens takes questions from the audience.



And that's all folks!
TIFF is over, so you'll have to wait until THE GUEST drops in theatres to see it! Thankfully, that's two days from now if you're lucky enough to live in the US!
