Ever since the movie announcement at Cannes, I’ve been curious what the return of Yeon Sango-Ho to the international market was going to be. After the internationally produced Peninsula (sequel to Train to Busan), he left us wanting for more Korean peninsula horror stories. So, I was excited to see Colony on the program for

Fantasia Fest 2026 gave me the opportunity to experience history by witnessing Myanmar’s first found footage horror film, The Last Footage. The movie is shot in first-person, with smart glasses as the vehicle for this point of view. If you know me, you know I LOVE found footage. There is something about watching a cursed

Family isn’t supposed to be like this. There’s something special about colorful holiday lights and festive music serving as a backdrop to a Christmas Eve bloodbath. It’s why films like Silent Night, Deadly Night or Krampus are at the top of most Christmas horror watchlists each year. And there’s not nearly enough Christmas horror out

If you’re a fan of the Souls series games, especially its sister game SEKIRO: Shadows Die Twice, and anime is your flavor for amazing adaptations (they do it so well), then SEKIRO: No Defeat is made for you, especially. As an avid anime fan, I was pleasantly surprised to see fairly new studio Qzil.la take

Sex, Trolls,

Fantasia Film Festival 2026 has plenty of new films to check out, but I always manage to find a hidden gem from the past. This time, I made a beeline to see Gozu (2003). I’m a huge fan of Audition, and jumped at the opportunity to engage with more of Takashi Miike’s work. Every time

Horror is political and we love to see filmmakers who put thought into what they want their art to say. Which is why I love to see Edwin helming the latest horror movie aimed at inhumane working conditions in factory settings. Sleep No More is not what we might have expected from reading the premise.

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
