Rifleman

First appearance: Downrange (2017)
A group of teens run afoul of a masked maniac. Unlike normal teen exterminating masked manics, this one doesn't use cutlery or power tools or forestry equipment, he's got a rifle.
Weird variation on a slasher flick. I really liked the ending.

A Collector (I think)

First appearance: Southbound (2015)

Five interlocking tales of horror following the fates of a variety of weary travellers on one of the creepiest stretches of desert highway. In the vein of the original Outer Limits, EC comics, The Twilight Zone etc. from some of the people behind V/H/S, but don't worry this one is fantastic ALL the way through.

Dr. Michael Slovak

First appearance: The Mind's Eye (2015)

A drifter with telekinetic powers runs afoul of the head of the Slovak Institute of Psychokinesis, an organization set up to help telekinetically powered individuals. But does the The head of SIP have other more nefarious plans? You can count on that, wouldn't be much of a movie other wise.

This is the second movie from Joe Begos, director of Almost Human.

Darcy

First appearance: Green Room (2015)

A punk band runs into trouble at a neo-nazi bar when they accidentally witness something they shouldn't have. Horrifying mayhem ensues.
The movie features Sir Patrick Stewart as the leader of the homicidal skin heads. Anton Yechin stars as a member of the punk band. Interesting as that's two Star Trek alumni in a non-sci-fi movie.

Ray Smilie


First Appearance: Devil's Candy (2015)

An artist and his family movie into a new house unfortunately it might not be quite empty and one of it's former residents wants to come home. A genuinely frightening tale of Obsession, possession, Satanic influence, heavy metal and painting.

This may be my favourite movie of 2015. I saw the world premiere during the Midnight Madness program during the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. and I highly recommend you see this movie.

Unfortunately there's no trailer to share just yet.
