The Catechism Cataclysm‘s Todd Rohal, Kill List‘s Ben Wheatley and scribe Bryan Fuller‘s long-awaited directorial debut are part of the big surprises for this year’s Midnight Madness slate which will be book-ended by some Canuck filmmakers with Matt Johnson opening the section with SXSW preemed Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie and Grace Glowicki‘s Sundance preemed Dead Lover (closing film). Rohal is back with Steve Little and Robert Longstreet for Fuck My Son! and Wheatley lassoed Bob Odenkirk once again to play a temporary sheriff in a pure action movie simply titled Normal. Fuller’s Dust Bunny follows an eight-year-old girl who asks her neighbor for help to kill the monster under her bed who ate her family. Mads Mikkelsen, Sigourney Weaver, and David Dastmalchian star in this one. Here’s the programme:
