13 Days Till Summer // An Ad Against Smart Home Technology: Fantastic Fest 2025 Review

I saw a slasher on the schedule for Fantastic Fest 2025, and I made a beeline for it. I didn’t read much about the film, so I could go in as blind as possible: I was pleasantly surprised! 13 Days Till Summer follows Antek, Pauline, and her friends as they try to survive after someone […]

Touch Me // I Want to Be Dirty: Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

Fantasia Film Festival 2025 wound down over the weekend, and I have a recommendation to add to our Festival Frights page. Touch Me’s movie poster mesmerized me like a fly to a bug zapper.

The fun, crude, unique, and underdog vibe you’ve come to expect is fully on display in Occupy Cannes. However, the new documentary also reveals a surprising amount of heart. It also showcases a rather large

The Well // Dystopian Drama Time: Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

Fantasia Film Fest gave us a taste of the end of the world. Post-apocalyptic movies always catch my eye because horror has an extra layer of thrill when the dangers are tangible to the viewer. That’s why I made a beeline for The Well. I was filled with wonder at what horrors would have consumed

The House With Laughing Windows // For the Giallo Crowd: Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

I rarely skip the chance to check out a Giallo film. I saw Italian, Giallo, and 1970s, and I was sold! So, I skipped the premise and dove into Pupi Avanti’s The House With Laughing Windows blindly. I was treated to an engaging mystery that would satisfy most Giallo fans, and a shocking reveal that

Terrestrial // That Escalated Quickly : Fantasia Film Festival 2025 Review

You need a certain amount of creativity, delusion, and luck to be a writer. Having the ideas and talent isn’t nearly enough if you don’t believe in yourself. However, you also have to cling to the dream that your stuff will find the right people who will help you get it seen or read. Writing

Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma // A Chattanooga Film Fest Review

Not many times can we say a movie is based on actual events and it be true. However, with Hacked: A Double Entendre of Rage Fueled Karma, they really do mean it. Well, the first ten minutes at least. Director and writer Shane Brady based his movie on real-life events that happened to him when
