New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day
Monday, August 4, 2008

Martyrs is the horror buzz film of 2008. Many are already hailing it as the horror film of the year, while others are proclaiming it horror film of the decade. Can you get any stronger hype than that? Probably not! It still is up in the air for when I’ll finally be able to see this horror film for the ages and I can’t wait… it cannot get here soon enough.

Martyrs will be screening at the upcoming FrightFest later this month, in September at Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival and in October at Sitges – International Film Festival of Catalonia.

They provided video clips of Q&A’s and introductions for films, as well as montage clips giving you an overview of their program and even went so far as having compilation video of of Colin Geddes its head programmer, as he traveled around the world attending film festivals. In addition to that they offered insight on the films they were showing and the talent behind them in several engaging ways and offered up analysis. They also had a lot of older footage from past festivals that pulled up to use on the blog. I can’t imagine what this new 2008 blog will have, but you can bet that once again they will be pulling out all the stops and raising the bar for what a film festival blog can be:
