Thursday, October 24
7pm: ‘Werewolf’ (Poland) – Canadian Premiere
Cast: Kamil Polnisiak, Nicolas Przygoda, Sonia Mietielica and Danuta Stenka

At first glance, a film set during the last days of World War II about a group of kids trying to avoid Nazi soldiers and rabid wolves in the woods might not seem like Toronto After Dark fare. But trust us: this award winning Polish film gets so intense, we think it delivers more terror per minute than just about any other film in our lineup! If you’re looking for a more original horror experience that pushes you to the limit, look no further than ‘Werewolf!’

Director: James Mark
Packed with kick-ass action and super-powered throw downs, James Mark’s ‘Enhanced’ is a thrilling new sci-fi action flick set to delight fans. In the vein of ‘X-Men,’ when a sinister government organization declares them illegal, a group of ‘enhanced’ mutant outcasts including a young woman (‘Cardinal’s Alanna Bale) go on the run. Soon, a super-enhanced serial killer emerges on the scene, and the dynamics between hunter and prey changes.
