The Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness section has announced its 2026 lineup, featuring a special screening of "Hope" and a replay of last year's breakout hit "Obsession," alongside new films from directors Matthew Rankin, Anna Biller, Eugene Kotlyarenko and Joshua Giuliano. Curated by Peter Kuplowsky, the showcase promises a mix of thrills and spills as Hollywood watches closely for the next festival sensation. Last year, Midnight Madness drew major attention when Focus Features acquired Curry Barker's "Obsession" for $15 million, making it the most successful film festival pick-up at the box office with nearly half a billion dollars in ticket sales. This year's lineup brings that hit back to the festival, while introducing fresh works from noted indie filmmakers, including Rankin, director of "Universal Language." The full details of each film were not disclosed, but the announcement signals TIFF's continued role as a key launching pad for genre and audience-friendly cinema.
