Unidentified Murder is one of the most charming surprises to come out of this year’s Fantasia 2026 lineup. It shows how a chaotic murder mystery of sorts can have as much heart as it does intrigue. Directed by Kwok Ka-Hei and Jack Lee Chun-Kit, the film builds tension from the start. The pacing never lets […]

I fell in love with Makoto Ueda’s writing during my first Fantasia Film Festival in 2021. I have watched Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes at least a dozen times while introducing new friends to the movie. So, I was obviously excited to see he was back with You Are the Film, a movie he wrote

Bunny Rabbit made its US debut at this year’s Chattanooga Film Fest and immediately burrowed its way into my psyche. This Australian post-climate collapse film left me feeling unsettled long after the credits rolled, and for all the right reasons. Independent filmmaking continues to be where some of the most exciting cinema is happening, and

Misper is a refreshing change of pace from the many true crime stories inundating us these days. Instead of following along as someone tries to solve the mystery, it focuses on those left behind to deal with the uncertainty of a loss. Misper pushes the idea further by centering on the missing person’s coworkers. It’s

I love it when women swerve into male-dominated lanes. That’s why I was so excited to catch Frankie, Maniac Woman at Salem Horror Fest. All I knew about the movie was that Frankie was different, in the violent kind of way. That was enough for me. Kat (my co-host) and I power walked down the

I had the opportunity to watch Hokum at Overlook Film Festival in a packed theater amongst friends. I had no idea what the movie was about except that Adam Scott was there and Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity) was directing. Also, I enjoy haunted places and folk horror, so Hokum worked for me. It’s also easy

I decided to see Leviticus on whim at the Overlook Film Festival, and I’m happy that I did! I went into the movie completely blind and learned during the introduction of the movie that it was an Australian film. So, I expected realistic brutality. I also discovered that it starred Joe Bird from Talk to

If you know me, you know I love werewolves. It was obvious that I was going to see An American Werewolf in London (1981) on the big screen at Overlook Film Festival, even if it was just me in the crowd (it was a packed house, btw). In addition to seeing one of the most

I had the opportunity to check out Exit 8, directed by Genki Kawamura, at the Overlook Film Festival, and I was pleasantly surprised! Exit 8 is based on a video game released in 2023. I have watched the gameplay on YouTube, but I am too scared to play. While I hadn’t seen a trailer, I
