'V/H/S' And '[REC] 3: Genesis' Highlight SXSW 2012 Midnight Line Up

Be it Sundance, Toronto or South by Southwest, some of the most exciting films to play in any film festival these days are part of the midnight line up. That's where festivals feel comfortable playing the over the top genre stuff and, last year, SXSW's midnight schedule included films like Attack the Block, Insidious and Kill List. Now the 2012 schedule has been announced.

The main schedule is already cool enough, featuring the world premieres of fantastic films like The Cabin in the Woods and 21 Jump Street, but at midnight, they're adding to that with the world premieres of [REC] 3: Genesis, Girls Against Boys and The Tall Man with Jessica Biel. They'll also screen the awesome anthology V/H/S, John Dies at the End and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's Intruders with Clive Owen, just to name a few.

Read the full list after the jump.

Here are the midnight films. For a list of short films that will be playing, head to www.sxsw.com/film.
