FANTASIA Interview: TILT, Kasra Farahani’s Film That Is Not Really About Trump – But Sort Of Is

FANTASIA Review: SUPER DARK TIMES Takes Us Back To A Kinder, But Still Darker Time

Review by Bears Fonte Are we nostalgic about the 90’s now? I guess if Kevin Philips’ debut thriller SUPER DARK TIMES is any indication, break out the Skechers and flannel.

FANTASIA Review: HOUSE OF THE DISAPPEARED Pays Off Its Foundation

By Bears Fonte HOUSE OF THE DISAPPEARED is the kind of film that could be ruined by a review. The set-up is fantastic, the acting, the cinematography all first rate, but what truly makes Dae-Woong Lim’s ghost story spectacular is the way it all comes together in the end. Yunjin Kim (LOST’s Sun) plays Mi-Hee,
