Rio Rolls Out Three Massive Midnight Programs

The Rio International Festival - one of the marquee film events in all of South America - has rolled out their midnight programs and, once again, there is lots there to love. And, yes, I did say programs, plural, as the folks at Rio turn over three complete programs to more extreme fare in the form of a traditional genre sidebar, a slate of edgy documentary and - this year - a program devoted to Universal Monsters.
