The 2012 SXSW Film Festival has announced another 11 films as part of their "Midnighters" line-up this year. We covered their reveal of the first 130 features selected for SXSW in Austin starting on March 9th, but these midnights are as exciting as they feature some of the more buzzed-about horror/genre titles. There's even one that says "Super Secret Screening" without any hints as to what it could be. Maybe it's just [REC] 4 to follow-up [REC] 3? I'm sure we'll find out soon. Our own Jeremy Kirk will be covering the fest. If you're also attending or curious, check out the midnight selection, some potentially fantastic films in here.
The SXSW Film Festival runs March 9th-17th in Austin, TX, taking place all over the city at various venues. For more details on the films, visit the festival online at SXSW.com. Here is the official midnight line-up:
