Fantastic Fest starts Thursday


The great Fantastic Fest starts this week and Unseen Films is going to have coverage up through the fest.

One of the most important genre festivals of the year it’s the place to see great horror, scifi, action and fantasy films from around the globe.  It’s the place to see many of the films that will be blockbusters over the next year before everyone else. Need proof, BLACK PHONE started here last year before it blew it all up at the box office.

I can’t wait to dive in and start to see what goodies they are screening.

Well actually I have seen a good number of their films already so if you want to get a check out my thoughts on some of their films click on the titles below and see what out thoughts were:

Liz Whittemore on ATTACHMENT

CHOP AND STEELE

COUNTRY GOLD

DEMIGOD

Liz Whittemore on FAMILY DINNER

HUESERA

LEONORA WILL NEVER DIE

LYNCH/OZ

MISSING

ONE AND FOUR

SHIN ULTRAMAN

SOMETHING IN THE DIRT

SWALLOWED

UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS

WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD

WOUNDED FAWN

I’ve also seen a few others and will have reviews closer to screening. (Though my review of BONES AND ALL, DECISION TO LEAVE and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS have to wait until they play the New York Film Festival)

I suggest you keep an eye out for NIGHTSIREN which is nominally a horror film but is really a look at superstition in small communities in the modern world. It kicked be in the chest.

I also highly recommend VESPER. The story of a young girl trying to help bring back the plants in a world where the ecology has been wiped out by Man’s interference. It’s the first film in years that you’ll want a sequel to because you both want to see what’s next and because you want to return to the world it presents.

More reports are coming so keep reading.
