Whoever said horror films can’t be smart, obviously hasn’t seen Brandon Cronenbergs’ latest film POSSESSOR UNCUT. I was lucky enough to catch this artistic bloodfest as a part of Telluride Horror Show’s closing night. Telluride always brings the heat on the final day of the fest, and the 2020 Shelter-In-Place

With a name like Cronenberg, the eyes of film fans would most assuredly be on you with keen anticipation. But (and not to be blasphemous) let’s forget about David for a minute. Despite constant questions about and comparisons to his father, Brandon Cronenberg continues to prove his talent as a

The 11th annual Telluride Horror Show kicks off this weekend (October 15th-18th), and like so many other fests this year, THS has taken itself online for the first ever Shelter-In-Place edition. Good to know the folks over there have a sense of humor about it. Honestly, nothing is more depressing

Thankfully our prayers have been answered and the Fantasia International Film Festival 2020 is going ahead! This year Fantasia is happening in cyberspace, screening virtually to Canadian audiences. The excitement of the festival is not so lost, as many films are showing as they would usually in Montreal. Though we

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Although nothing is normal in the age of Covid-19, at least one thing is persevering…The 2020 Fantasia International Film Festival is still taking place from August 20th through September 2nd. Like nearly every other North American film festival, Fantasia will

We are in day 7767356587758745758687368 of the COVID 19 pandemic and like everyone else, I have watched a lot of content. Films, television series, web series, you name it – I have probably watched it. Unfortunately for me I am finding that all of this binge watching has made it

When punk culture was inevitably co-opted and absorbed by the Hot Topic crowd sometime in the 90s, the remnants of the “real shit” retreated back where it belongs- sketchy basements and $1 beer dives. Similarly, with the rise of zoomer-targeted YouTube “comedians” and direct-to-Netflix ADAM SANDLER movies, perhaps now the
