Heeeeeerrrre's Toxie!!! Cool standee in the Cameo Cinema tonight.

My final Midnight Madness screening of this year's film festival. Fond memories of the schlocky original, this new version was a lot of silly, OTT fun. Looks like Dinklage & Kevin Bacon were enjoying themselves.

One last Midnight Madness screening at the #Edinburgh International Film Festival this evening, probably as well, several in a row is a bit too much!

Tonight the reboot of an old friend: Toxie! Fond memories of the original schlock movies and raiding the video rental store for them. Interested to see what they've done with this Dinklage version.

Nia DaCosta Reveals Her One Amendment to Alex Garland’s ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Script — “More Infected”

It was also none other than 'The Zone of Interest' director Jonathan Glazer, DaCosta revealed, that convinced her to take on the sequel, which was filmed back to back with Danny Boyle's film released earlier this year.
