Saw The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw had a wildly popular off-Broadway stint. It is now enjoying a national tour as it brings the grime to a city a near you. So, it was only a matter of time before this odd fusion of blood, music, and potty humor made its way to Chicago.

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.

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
