It’s the first day of Fantastic Fest, It was wonderful seeing many faces I haven’t seen since the last festival before the pandemic. We had an opening party with Goth Marching band Itchy-O The 57 member band with drummers, guitar players, Dancing tigers, floats, and confetti cannons. We also had cocktail serving robots brought to […]

Fantasia Review – THE BREACH
The first movie I saw at this summer’s Fantasia Film Festival was THE BREACH, a body horror film with dash of Lovecraft elements. It’s the second feature from Rue Morgue president Rodrigo Gudino and executive produced by Slash from Guns N’ Roses, who also provides some music! It’s a film adaptation of the Audible original […]
Fantasia Review – BABY ASSASSINS
Directed by Hugo Sakamoto Baby Assassins, directed by Hugo Sakamoto, is a fun Japanese Action comedy that I got to check out during the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. It has good action scenes but the best part of the film are the comedy sequences that is full of laughter and guts. The film is […]
BULLET TRAIN Mini Review – This Train Won’t Stop
Bullet Train is the type of movie I like, a film that takes place on a single night. I love that feeling that you can feel the character’s desperation of getting out of their situation before dawn breaks. A good film with a plethora of characters with different stories that all have led them to […]
SxSW Review – I LOVE MY DAD
Here we have both our Managing Editor Jason Whyte along with Austin-based Antonio Quintero review I LOVE MY DAD which was an award winner at SxSW last week. Anyone who has questioned someone that they meet online is a very normal feeling and attitude. You likely know the term “catfish” when someone dupes another into […]
SxSW Review – X
A few years ago, Ti West promised in interviews that he was done with the horror genre. He broke his promise and returns to his roots with the new movie X, a homage to 70s horror films, which I saw last night at its World Premiere at SXSW. The director and stars of the movie […]
SxSW 2022 Review – THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT – The Ultimate Meta
The UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT is the ultimate “meta” movie! Nicolas Cage plays one of his most difficult roles, playing himself. well, a fictional version of himself; which may be close to his true self. According to Cage it was not easy getting into his own head. This is one of the most “Cageian” films you […]
SxSW 2022 Review: DEADSTREAM
It’s been a while since a SXSW midnight screening left me with a big smile coming out of the theater and DEADSTREAM did this to me. The only way I can describe this film is EVIL DEAD meets PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. It’s like if Sam Raimi made a found footage film and a parody of streaming […]
SxSW 2022 Review – EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
The Opening film at SXSW film festival after a three year hiatus was the most perfect film to open the festivities after the long pandemic that we all went through. As the creators The Daniels said in their opening remarks, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE shouldn’t exist but somehow it got made. There were two […]
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO Review – A Take From Two Sides
It’s incredibly rare to get TWO Edgar Wright movies in a year. I raved earlier this year about his wonderful documentary THE SPARKS BROTHERS, which was a complete summary of many decades. Wright is a stickler for detail and using imagery and particular music beats to. I saw LAST NIGHT IN SOHO at the recent […]
Fantasia Festival Interview – INDEMNITY director Travis Taute
At FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL I had the chance to see the amazing Action Thriller INDEMNITY. I got the opportunity to speak to the director TRAVIS TAUTE, this is his first feature film. I was excited when I heard this action film from South Africa. I have seen many South African action films. The last one […]
Fantasia Film Festival 2021 – Genre-Style Reviews & Remote Thoughts
It has been another crazy year of film festivals, and one that we have always loved & supported out of Montreal is the long-running genre festival Fantasia Festival. Both Antonio Quintero & myself (Jason) are fans of the bizarre, having also attended Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas many times. We are hoping next year that […]
OLD Review – The Young & The Elder
M. Night Shyamalan is a bit of hit or miss for me of lately. He comes out with a great film like SPLIT and then he comes up with something underwhelming like GLASS. I would put his newest picture OLD in the category of his best film. It’s not perfect, but I still find it […]
RIDERS OF JUSTICE Review: Get Your Anders Thomas Jensen On
RIDERS OF JUSTICE had my attention from beginning to end and it’s an incredible action-slash-comedy from Denmark. It’s a country that has some amazing action films in the last decade and this is no exception. I go every year to Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX and this is the type of film that would been […]
Breaking Down SxSW 2021: The Top 10 from Jason & Antonio
Oh reader, you have no idea how much I missed Austin, Texas this year. Oh how I wish I travelled all the way to Austin from my little corner of the world in Canada to attend South By Southwest, a city I have not been to in person since 2019. This is SxSW year number […]
