The Toronto After Dark film festival has unveiled its first wave of film announcements for 2012, and included in these ten films are some of the most critically acclaimed and eagerly anticipated horror, sci-fi, action, and cult films from this year’s international film festival circuit.

These ten new movies will all have their Toronto or Canadian theatrical premieres hosted exclusively at the festival’s 7th annual edition this October 18th-26th at the city’s historic Bloor Cinema. Check out the fest's sizzle reel below, and for more info visit the official Toronto After Dark website, "like" Toronto After Dark on Facebook, and follow Toronto After Dark on Twitter (@TAD FilmFest).

Ten more exciting feature films, a collection of cutting-edge short films, and the complete festival schedule will be announced at the end of September. At that time fans will also be able to buy single tickets to all screenings.

REC 3: GENESIS (Spain) Canadian Premiere!
An official selection of the SXSW Film Festival, the latest installment of the hit Spanish zombie movie series relocates the action to a lavish wedding where the guests - including the bride wielding a chainsaw - try to survive a terrifying outbreak of the undead!

EXCISION (USA)
A disturbed teenager (AnnaLynne McCord) deals with the stresses of her home and school life by escaping into a world of bloody fantasies where she performs surgeries on herself and and those around her. A major hit at Sundance, the film co-stars cult icons John Waters, Traci Lords and Malcolm McDowell.

GRABBERS (Ireland)
In this Sundance audience crowd-pleaser in the mould of TREMORS, when a small Irish town is invaded by bloodsucking tentacled aliens, the locals discover that getting drunk may be their only way to survive as it gives them some resistance to the creatures!
