Film Review: Family Portrait
Written and directed by Lucy Kerr, her film debut FAMILY PORTRAIT, is clearly personal but also somewhat universal. The film was ingeniously acquired by distribution company Factory 25 and has started screening in the US (details below). For a debut feature, Kerr has given us realism with the rug pulled
Film Review: Mars Express (Fantastic Film Festival Australia)
Another excellent run for one of Fear Forever’s favourite film festivals. FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL AUSTRALIA 2024 brought the latest genre films to Sydney and Melbourne. Festival goers witnessed its exciting and diverse programming, from gorey exploitation horror to high-concept Science Fiction; MARS EXPRESS absolutely defines the latter.

Film Review: The Complex Forms (Fantaspoa 2024)
As FANTASPOA Film Festival 2024 continues, its screenings stay true to its name. Most recently, a suspenseful fantasy from Italy, written and directed by Fabio D’Orta.

Film Review: Fck’n Nuts
I won’t forget the value of short-form horror cinema any time soon thanks to Sam Fox‘s bizzaro land horror-comedy, FCK’N NUTS. Some horror shorts aim to show us how terrifying they would be as feature films; others leave you with an ambiguous ending that makes your imagination go to dark
Film Review: Destroy All Neighbours
SHUDDER kicks off 2024 with comedy-horror DESTROY ALL NEIGHBOURS: one man’s blood splattered and viscera filled journey to realising he’s been kind of an asshole lately. This Shudder Original, directed by Josh Forbes, is goofy, but at times it’s kind of genius. It premieres on January 12. William Brown (Jonah
