LEVELS, a sci-fi action -emphasis on the action- film from writer and director Adam Stern, hits cinemas. After award-winning sci-fi shorts, LEVELS is Stern’s impressive debut feature film.

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.

FILM REVIEW: POSSESSOR: UNCUT (TELLURIDE HORROR SHOW 2020)

FILM REVIEW: BUTT BOY
What’s in a name? That’s the first thing I asked myself when I received my screener copy for Epic Pictures BUTT BOY. An unusual name indeed. What would follow would be an even more unusual experience making an effort to live up to that name. In the spirit of full
FILM REVIEW: VIVARIUM
The whole world is living in an indefinite quarantine, locked down in their homes. Collectively, we are all wondering, “when can we go back to a normal life?”. What a felicitous time to watch a film about a couple trapped in a tranquil yet horrific suburbia setting. VIVARIUM is a
