Stars: Alain Chabat, Anaïs Demoustier, Léa Drucker, Benoît Magimel | Written and Directed by Quentin Dupieux There are plenty of films that could call themselves Incredible But True but maybe more than most this one feels like it justifies it. But unfortunately, I don’t want to say too much about why this is the case […]
Stars: Shin Sia, Park Eun-bin, Seo Eun-soo, Jin Goo, Kim Da-mi | Written and Directed by Park Hoon-jung I was lucky enough to see The Witch Part 1: The Subversion as part of my coverage for Glasgow Frightfest back in 2019.

Cohen, Kelly Rian Sanson, Ella Starbuck, Lauren Staerck, May Kelly, Nikolai Leon, Richard Harfst, Gillian Broderick | Written by Craig McLearie | Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield I will continue to champion Christmas horror probably until the day I die.

Stars: Charlie Pollock, Daniel Rashid, Maria DeCotis, Michelle Veintimilla, Neville Archambault, Will Madden, Will Martin | Written by Jeff Ryan, Joe Adams | Directed by Jeff Ryan Horror movies about ‘influencers’ seem to be getting made more and more.

Features: Tim Curry, Tommy Lee Wallace, Seth Green, Richard Thomas, Dennis Christopher | Written by John Campopiano, Gary Smart | Directed by John Campopiano, Chris Griffiths I’ll be honest right from the start. I’m not a huge fan of the original It TV movie. I would have been seven when it was originally shown and […]
Stars: Maddison Bullock, Chris Levine, Jamie Nelson, April Beardslee, Danielle Rabinovitch, Robin Thompson | Written and Directed by Scott Eggleston On the face of things, not the most inspiring of titles for a mystery/sci-fi/horror movie but there is sense in the title, at least after you’ve seen it. We see a couple move into a […]
Features: Matthew Jacobs, Paul McGann, Eric Roberts, Daphne Ashbrook | Directed by Vanessa Yuille, Matthew Jacobs I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I’ll watch any good documentary even if I am not interested in the subject matter.

But that is the subject that […]
Stars: Bill Oberst Jr., Vinny Curran, Ian Tripp, Brendan Cahalan, Ryan Schafer, Seton Edgerton, Iliyana Apostolova| Written by Ian Tripp | Directed by Ian Tripp, Ryan Schafer With a title like that you kind of have to deliver as a horror movie. It also kind of gives away what is going to happen in the […]
Stars: Signe Egholm Olsen, Anton Hjejle, Dan Zahle, Sara Fanta Traore | Written by Anders Rønnow Klarlundd, Jacob Weinreich | Directed by Anders Rønnow Klarlund The Last Client is the type of movie that makes me love Frightfest.

Nelson, Dodie Brown, Jonetta Kaiser | Written by David Ebeltoft | Directed by Sonja O’Hara Root Letter’s main story involves a relationship between pan pals.

Stars: Thomas Niehaus, Gedeon Burkhard, Rodney Charles, Uke Bosse | Written and Directed by Lukas Rinker I recently watched Man On A Ledge for the first time but the title for it seemed a bit misleading. Yes, there was a man on a ledge but less than half of the movie seemed to be about and […]
Stars: Seo Hyun-woo, Ryu Sun-young | Written and Directed by Park Kang Fantasia Festival once again delivered this year on bringing the best of Korean cinema to a wider audience. It’s one of the reasons I love the festival so much and Seire is one of those movies that deserves to be seen by as […]

Stars: Autumn Schmidt, Avila Schmidt, Scarlet Schmidt | Written and Directed by Ann-Marie Schmidt, Brian Schmidt My Fantasia viewing continues with Island of Lost Girls – a very unique kind of family film.

Stars: Derrick Beckles, Oscar Harding, Karen Kilgariff, Joe Pickett, Nick Prueher | Directed by Oscar Harding Every now and then a movie comes along that feels like it is made for just me. A Life on the Farm ticks all of those boxes and is one of those films that I know if I talk […]
Stars: Catherine Bérubé, Lake Delisle, Alex Rice, Margaux Vaillancourt | Written and Directed by Mariel Sharp At just fifteen minutes, short movie Where the Witch Lives manages to pack a lot into what seems like just the start of a story. A mother and her two young daughters move into old, worn-down and isolated house […]
Stars: Zach Villa, Marlene Forte, Devon Graye, Yumarie Morales, Madeline Zima | Written and Directed by Addison Heimann The horror genre and mental illness don’t quite go hand-in-hand but movie directors have always found the genre a good way to express and show these problems.
