One last (late) full review from my coverage of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018. It’s been a lot of fun to put my thoughts to the screen for you, dear reader. And I’m going out on a high note with The Witch in the Window, directed by half of the duo who directed YellowBrickRoad and … More The Witch in the Window (2018) – Review
Another great Fantasia Int’l Film Festival has come and gone. If you didn’t make it to Montreal this year to catch some of the genre programming, know that you’re not alone. I too missed out corporeally. But that’s an easier pill to swallow for me since I was able to cover the fest remotely via … More The Nightshifter (2018) – Review
Fantasia Int’l Film Festival is wrapping up but my reviews aren’t! Here’s one for the Japanese film, One Cut of the Dead. (Kamera o tomeru na) Read it why don’tcha?

More Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 coverage! I know! It’s so much! I’m so generous! Check this shit out! (my review of Knuckleball) Henry’s mom and dad aren’t the model couple.

My Fantasia Int’l Film Fest 2018 reviews just keep on coming! Next up is the long-awaited 12th Puppet Master film (just kidding, it’s only been a year since last one), Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. This film has gotten quite a bit of buzz. Probably because it stars some decent comedic actors – … More Puppetmaster: The Littlest Reich – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
Next up – Lifechanger. Another review in a long(ish) line of reviews of films showing at the Fantasia Int’l Film Festival. Enjoy! From the start it is clear that our protagonist isn’t the most moral of people. In fact, he may not be a “people” at all. See, he (we know it’s a he … More Lifechanger (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018

When I’m covering festivals, I always engage in bit of internal debate over whether my intros should consist of my typical rambling blather or a more terse, straight to the point version for brevity’s sake. I’ve come down on the side of brevity more often than not because I’m lazy. Sorry if you came here … More Cold Skin (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
First up in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 review series is The Night Eats the World (aka: La Nuit a Devore le Monde). It’s a French language zombie film set in France. Paris or a near-Paris suburb maybe. At least I think it is. It’s mostly set in a single apartment building. Let’s get … More The Night Eats the World (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
