Toronto International Film Festival 2021: Our Half-Dozen “Have to See!” Horror Films

Shocks and shudders abound during Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) hybrid event September 9–18, 2021, with in-person cinema screenings in Toronto and digital screenings available to viewers across Canada. Among the incredible international line-up of horror, science fiction, thriller, and other genre-cinema styles are the following six stand-outs, which Horror Fuel highly recommends. My comments follow in italics after descriptions adapted from TIFF’s official program and website. Kicking Blood “Blaine Thurier’s sultry, perma-stoned, ultra-modern spin on the vampire genre evokes cult-horror figures like George A. Romero and Stuart Gordon.” Fusing the grittiness of George Romero’s Martin with the sly theatricality of Stuart Gordon’s early films (Re-Animator, From Beyond), Blaine Thurier’s Kicking Blood reimagines vampire mythology by transplanting it to the bohemian world Thurier has satirized since he began making films. Instead of the usual desiccated, tormented aristocrats with impossibly innocent victims, Thurier’s undead are hipster scavengers and swingers, their victims luckless hangers-on and drunks. Vampire Anna (Alanna Bale) is disappointed

The Hit Horror Film ‘Megan Is Missing’ Is Coming To Blu-Ray

2011’s viral social media hit Megan Is Missing arrives on Blu-ray™ this October from Lionsgate. This terrifying cautionary tale, inspired by a true story, from writer-director Michael Goi (Mary, “American Horror Story”) is about the dangers of online communication. “Controversial. Brutal. Disturbing. To describe Megan Is Missing is to describe the outer limits of terror and horror. But there’s no way to tell the story of the disappearance of 14-year-old Megan Stewart and her best friend, Amy Herman — a story taken from video chats, webcam footage, home videos, and news reports — without descending into the very heart of depravity and despair. Notorious on social media, banned in New Zealand, and enhanced by never-before-seen Blu-ray™ bonus content, Megan Is Missing offers an unflinchingly candid look at the dangerous online world today’s teenagers face — a world that’s every parent’s worst nightmare.” Amber Perkins, Rachel Quinn, and Dean Waite star in Megan Is Missing, available on Blu-ray™ from online retailers

Shudder Review: “Matyrs Lane” Is A Haunting Tale Of Loss

Shudder’s new haunting film Martyrs Lane will arrive this September. Ahead of its release, we’ve got a spoiler-free review for you. In the film, a young girl, Leah, makes a new mysterious friend who comes in and out of her window every night. While the little girl wearing angel wings doesn’t look threatening, not everything is as it appears to be. Leah’s mother and father, who is a minister, are struggling with something they, and her big sister, have kept from Leah. As the story unfolds we learn the little angel’s true intent. The first thing you need to know is this isn’t your average horror film. Is it scary? No, not exactly. You’re left with a heavy heart more than fear. Featuring a dark and unnerving atmosphere, I was left with an uneasy feeling from the time I hit play until the closing credits. Young actress Kiera Thompson, who plays Leah, and little Sienna Sayer who plays the little
