This pleases me. Thai horror picture Alone, fresh off of Best Director and Best Actress awards at Fantastic Fest - where it was runner up to Nacho Vigalondo’s Time Crimes for best picture - has just swept the awards at the LA Screamfest, getting the nod for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Editing. Am I feeling smug about having programmed this at both Fantastic Fest and Toronto After Dark? Why, yes. Yes I am.

And speaking of Toronto After Dark, Alone is screening there in about … oh, two hours or so. If you rush, you can make it.
