Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness section is generating buzz as festivalgoers and movie studios ponder which film will claim the title of "Obsession" this year. TIFF released a list of ten potential contenders for the genre-focused section, including a debut slasher, a 14th-century ghost story, an Indian vampire Western, and a documentary on former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.

Midnight Madness will also feature a special screening of sci-fi epic "Hope" and an anniversary screening of "Obsession," which became the highest-grossing festival acquisition in history. Festival programmer Peter Kuplowsky shared his excitement about the upcoming lineup, highlighting "River" as a potential standout, and noting the inclusion of new documentaries and animated films.

The festival will run from September 10 to September 20 and feature a diverse range of world premieres.
