GREG KLYMKIW SELECTS THE FILM CORNER'S BEST HORROR FILMS OF 2015
By Greg Klymkiw
2015 was a banner year for Horror Pictures! Anything included on this list was unleashed in Toronto via festival, theatrical and/or DVD or VOD in 2015 and garnered at least ***½ to ***** from Greg Klymkiw.
Thanks to great folks for showcasing them and hustling them like Raven Banner, Anchor Bay Entertainment Canada, Kino-Lorber, VSC, Focus Features, GAT PR, Clutch PR, Amberlight, VKPR, Toronto After Dark Film Festival, FantAsia International Film Festival, Blood in the Snow Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Hot Docs Film Festival, The Royal Theatre, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Bloor Hot Docs Cinema. (If anyone's been left off, it ain't personal)
Almost all of these are indies.
Eight of them are Canadian (No surprise here, Canucks are major sickos).
Five of them are not in English.
One of them is even a documentary for Christ's sake!!!
Click on the titles to see my original review.
They're in alphabetical order, too, eh.
