You're just evil for recommending that.

Now that the schedule has been announced, when is this screening? I couldn't find it when I tried to scrounge through the list.
Hoping... by TheRealSeveren	Sep 6th, 2007 02:30:55 PM
for Diary of the Dead but its doubtful. It doesnt even have US distribution yet but it is screening up in Toronto. To be honest, i havent been very impressed with the lineup this year and Im hoping the secret screenings will be something really special.
I'm so excited about this. by SkeletonParty	Sep 6th, 2007 02:45:00 PM
Yay!
Thank you, AICN and Alamo Drafthouse by Lance Rock	Sep 6th, 2007 03:49:12 PM
...for all of the amazing free screenings this year! From Hot Fuzz, to Ratatouille, Shoot 'Em Up, etc---you are truly thoughtful and generous to the faithful. Now, bring on the Fest!!!!
Last Winter by Ghostwood	Sep 6th, 2007 04:00:45 PM
Looks pretty good. Would have been interesting to see what thoughtful filmmakers like Fessendon or Brad (Session 9, The Machinist) Anderson would've done with the Halloween franchise if they were hired instead of flash-in-the-pan Zombie.
Looks like Postal's on the line-up. by Lenny Nero	Sep 6th, 2007 04:33:10 PM
God help Texas. God help America.
good thing AICN is hosting this... by Bloo	Sep 6th, 2007 04:57:44 PM
otherwise we'd never hear anything about this NOTE:Sarcasm sorry, I've sent in 3 or 4 notices about a Jericho convention in Kansas this weekend and not a mention. I'm not a Jericho fan but dangit it's nice to know when there are other conventions going on for geek related items not just the ones that AICN hosts
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE... by brokentusk	Sep 6th, 2007 06:01:04 PM
... will be one of the mystery AICN films. At least that's what I'm guessing based on the poster for the festival. If that turns out to be correct, damn everyone attending!

Just a guess.
the backwoods is terribly disappointing. by slappy jones	Sep 6th, 2007 07:05:37 PM
a real wasted oppourtunity. Paddy Considine and oldman are 2 of my favorite actors and I was really excited to see them in a thriller together but it is very boring. Such a great set up and premise and it gets totally wasted. plus both considine and oldman are awful in it.....trust me. its a real let down.
saw some of the line-up at Dead by Dawn by ian216a	Sep 6th, 2007 07:44:47 PM
Got some of the most enjoyable films they showed on the line-up. In the features list, End of the line and Flight of the Living Dead were both Crowd pleasers, fun throw backs to the 80's horror videos we all love. The Cold Hour was one of the Spanish equivalents to the Masters of Horror series. I think it was made for a cable series called Stories To Watch Before Going To Bed are something like that. We saw at least 3 of them in Edinburgh and they were all very cool. The Cold Hour was one of my favourite films of the festival, and the only film that came close to scaring me, but my mates didn't share my opinion on it. I think I'm more claustrophobic than them so that might have swayed my opinion. As for the Shorts, don't miss The Fifth if you can help it, it is hilarious. It Came from the West was well received so it doesn't surprise me it won the Audience Award, but it wasn't my cup of tea. It seemed to the the product of someone who had watched Meet the Feebles and Brain Dead too many times (and I didn't think that was possible. Well regardless of what I think, you guys attending have got some cool stuff to watch. Wish I was there!

excuse the grammer. It is 2am here and I am on drugs.
Taxidermia by red_weed	Sep 6th, 2007 10:26:44 PM
watched the trailer for that on the films website after reading a review. Looks rather fucked up. Can't wait!
TAXIDERMIA = one of the best films I've seen this year by Tubbs Tattsyrup	Sep 6th, 2007 10:27:05 PM
Beautifully shot, very well-acted. And fucked up almost beyond comparison. AAHHHH my brain hurt after that one.
TheRealSeveren by brokentusk	Sep 7th, 2007 06:58:32 AM
Nope, I'm Jewish. Don't know if I'm right, I could be wrong - it was just a guess. I apoligise if I am right and I ruined it for you.
Southland Tales by SEGASTUD	Sep 7th, 2007 01:31:16 PM
My money is on Southland Tales as being one of the secret screenings. Wish i could find a VIP badge so that I knew I could get into all these secret screenings
Diary of the dead is opening night film! by Wizejoker	Sep 7th, 2007 03:48:22 PM
Wow, that's admission price worthy right there.
