Movies shot in toronto - a few drops of blood

Despite the rising competition from Vancouver and Montreal, Toronto is still the centre of Canadian movie industry and one of the most important centres in the world. Hundreds of foreign directors and producers visit our town to shoot their masterpiece here. Toronto offers excellent conditions - 25,000 skilled technicians, acting pool including 10,000 ACTRA members, complex services and of course, tax incentives and various discounts on the national, provincial and municipal level.

There are three huge studios, unfortunately recently struck with a bit of controversy. These are used by the filmmakers to shoot their flicks. Naturally, Toronto itself is one of the most used actors, having various roles. Sometimes Toronto plays itself, but more often takes the roles of other cities. Then you can recognize your neighbourhood as a part of Pittsburgh or New York.

The number of movies shot in Toronto is huge, so I will definitely need some key which of them to choose. The linking chain of the four reviewed movies is blood.
