FILM REVIEW: THE DARK AND THE WICKED (FANTASIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL)

When the Fantasia Film Festival announced its 2020 film lineup, one that immediately piqued my interest was Bryan Bertino’s THE DARK AND THE WICKED. I’ve been a big fan of the directors’ work since he burst onto the scene with 2008’s home invasion shocker THE STRANGERS. That particular film is

FILM REVIEW: SHE’S ALLERGIC TO CATS

After premiering at Fantasia International Film Festival in 2016, SHE’S ALLERGIC TO CATS has just landed on VOD April 7th.
