quietearth [Film Festival 06.18.12]



Every year, Montreal holds one of the top genre film fests on the planet, and while unfortunately we don't have a correspondent there (If you're going and can write, hit us up!), we'll have copies of plenty of the films to review. Among others, Eron Sheean's (The Divide) fantastic looking Errors of the Human Body will be having its world premier! Films below.

- CITADEL, Ciarán Foy’s much-praised chiller about an agoraphobic man terrorized by a pack of feral children (Canadian premiere)
