Full Speed Ahead With After Dark HorrorFest '08

Despite the weak box office performance of the 2007 After Dark HorrorFest, the 2008 edition of "8 Films to Die For" is going ahead as scheduled. The first three movies have already been announced. The Brøken, which showed at this year's Sundance Film Festival, is the only one of the three that's finished and the only one of the three not produced by After Dark Films. The other two begin production this month in Romania. So far, the three films to die for are:

• The Brøken: A British woman tracks down a woman who appears to be her exact double.
• Faithless: A young woman trying to escape an abusive past moves to Atlanta but finds more cruelty awaiting her. (Apparently, she's a Falcons' season ticket holder.)
• Perkins' 14: A paranoid man kidnaps 14 people and brainwashes them into becoming his personal bodyguards. When he's arrested, though, the police inadvertently unleash the army of psychos on the town.

Sure, the last HorrorFest had some stinkers (Lake Dead anyone?), I'm glad that the festival's coming back. It's a great experience of terror overload, sort of like the NCAA tournament for horror.
