All things Fantasia. I’ve been covering Fantasia Film Festival since 2018, straight from Montreal to my merch shelf. Fantasia Film Festival has been electrifying Montreal each July/August since 1996 with fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and cult cinema. Its 2008 edition featured world premieres of Pig Hunt and Repo! The Genetic Opera. In 2012, it added the Frontières industry market to connect indie auteurs with producers. Fantasia’s flagship Cheval Noir competition, master-classes, VR shorts, and an open-to-all screening ethos draw over 100,000 fans annually, making it North America’s top genre showcase.
Written by Daniel Hess. The death of a family matriarch sets off a chain of events. The Last Thing Mary Saw is a horror & thriller movie.
Hellbender is the newest horror movie from John Adams, Zelda Adams & Toby Poser. Izzy longs to have a friend, but her illness won’t let her.
A short film collection called Radical Spirits, shown as a feature-length film. Reviewed as part of the Fantasia Film Virtual Festival 2021.
Two drifters join a family picnic & hold them at gunpoint. A seemingly random event soon turns into something more in Coming Home In the Dark
Review by Daniel Hess. If you can dream it, you can tax it. In Strawberry Mansion, the government taxes dreams & an auditor gets mixed up in something surreal.
Brainfreeze movie is a tongue-in-cheek zombie film. A biochemical fertilizer contaminates island water and the race is on to find a cure.
