Watch: Toronto midnight premiere 'Vanishing on 7th Street' looks promising, creepy
August 25,2010 Wednesday
Brad Anderson is one of those filmmakers like Michael Winterbottom who seems to have escaped the normal trap of getting stuck working in only one genre. Anderson has a definite flair for horror, with films like "The Mechanist" and "Session 9" on his resume, as well as episodes of both "Fear Itself" and "Masters Of Horror." But he's also made films like "Transsiberian" and "Happy Accidents" and "Next Stop Wonderland," and he's directed a bunch of episodes of the trippy sci-fi show "Fringe" lately.If you've seen his horror films, then you know that mood is incredibly important to him, much more than overt scares. His movie "Session 9" is one of the great slow-burn horror films of the 2000s, and it looks like his new film, "Vanishing On 7th Street," is going to be more of the same. Very good news indeed.
