The Toronto International Film Festival has selected seven movies as part of its Midnight Madness sidebar. The pics whether they’re slashers, comedies or hard R action titles, close out each of night of the fest with 11:59 PM screenings at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.

Of note is the world premiere of Ben Wheatley’s reunion of the Nobody franchise team of Bob Odenkirk, scribe Derek Kolstad and producer Marc Provissiero for Normal. Movie tells the story of Ulysses (Odenkirk), a substitute sheriff in a small, forgotten town who responds to a bank robbery, only to unknowingly uncover something far more explosive. Wheatley’s Brie Larson action movie, Free Fire, won the Midnight Madness People’s Choice Award back in 2016.

Also world premiering is Dust Bunny, the feature directorial debut of TV showrunner Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies). In the horror drama thriller, an eight-year-old girl asks her scheming neighbor for help in killing the monster under her bed that she thinks ate her family. David Dastmalchian, Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver star.

Midnight Madness opens with the Canadian Premiere of Matt Johnson’s Toronto-set Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. Based on Johnson’s cult Viceland series, this hysterical, death-defying time-travel caper earned a standing ovation and a coveted Midnighter Audience Award at this past spring’s SXSW.

The closing film is Dead Lover, a zany, macabre horror-comedy from Canadian director Grace Glowicki.

Kenji Tanigaki’s The Furious is billed as a frenetic martial arts thriller that assembles some of the genre’s fiercest fighters (whose combined credits include The Raid, Chocolate, and Everything Everywhere All at Once).

Nick Corirossi’s comedy The Napa Boys stars Armen Weitzman, Corirossi, Paul Rust and Beth Dover. Blurb: Jack Jr, Miles Jr and the gang are back for one last wine-related journey set forth by the mysterious “Sommelier.” Joined this time by Puck, a fan of The Napa Boys comics, the group will learn about love, loss, friendship and viticulture.

The 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, presented by Rogers, runs September 4–14.
