The good folks at TLA Releasing which provide great genre fare via their Danger After Dark label have just sent out a press release containing just a few of the genre films playing at the Philly Film Fest which has over 250 films this year. Some notables: I Sell The Dead, Able, Linkeroever (Left Bank), Moon and one of our personal favorites, Before The Fall.
Festival website Runs March 26th through April 6th.
Oh, not to mention the 20th Century Boys part 2 world premier!
So check after the break for the sneak peek!
DANGER AFTER DARK PROGRAM 09
I SELL THE DEAD (USA, 2008) Directed by Glenn McQuaid.
[our review]
Starring Dominic Monahan, Larry Fessenden, Ron Perlman, Angus Scrimm. Vampires, ghouls and vicious rivalries are just part of the fantastical adventures this devilishly mischievous horror film that slayed audiences at Slamdance 09 and Toronto After Dark Film Festival. East Coast Premiere
ABLE (USA/Germany, 2008) Directed by Marc Robert.
As an aggressive virus ravages the city, a group of Berliners resort to their basic animal instinct for survival, resulting in disturbing and murderous consequences. North American Premiere
ART OF THE DEVIL 3 (Thailand, 2008) Directed by the Ronin Team.
Revenge is served hot, quick and drenched in more bloody ooze imaginable in this scream-inducing, spectacularly creative, and violent prequel that makes the popular Saw franchise seem like child’s play. Philadelphia Premiere
4BIA (Thailand, 2008) Directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun, Paween Purikitpanya, Youngyooth Thongkonthun, Parkpoom Wongpoom.
In this aggressively scary terror ride, Thailand’s best directors take no prisoners, delivering four tales of horror guaranteed to shake, rattle and roll your nerves. Philadelphia Premiere
HANGER (Canada, 2009) Directed by Ryan Nicholson.
Full frontal nudity, female masturbation and vaginal mutilation are just the tip of the iceberg in the latest, gross-out and repulsively satisfying revenge shocker from the director of Gutterballs and Live Feed. Ryan Nicholson and actors in attendance!! World Premiere
LEFT BANK (Belgium, 2008) Directed by Pieter Van Hees.
[our review]
Surmounting doubt, dread and helplessness fuels an attractive woman’s state of mind as she begins to unlock a mystery, that will put her face to face with an ancient, unknowable evil. Philadelphia Premiere
NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (Australia, 2008) Directed by Mark Hartley.
Forget about Peter Weir art films or Nicole Kidman musicals. “Ozploitation†was the gleefully dirty sibling of the Australian film industry by celebrating full frontal nudity (we’ve got bush), unrelenting gore and over-the-top explosive mayhem in the 70s and 80s. East Coast Premiere

[our review]
A meteor is approaching the earth and all life will be extinguished in three days, but one family has a more pressing fear – a deranged and vengeful killer just released from prison is headed their way in this original apocalyptic thriller. East Coast Premiere
