FANTASIA Interview: Graham Skipper’s SEQUENCE BREAK Asks: Is That A Roll Of Quarters In Your Pocket?

One of the most visually provocative films I witnessed at FANTASIA was Graham Skipper’s SEQUENCE BREAK, the story of boy meets girl, boy ignores girl for arcade game, arcade game has sex with boy, arcade game has sex with girl, boy…. well, I don’t want to ruin it.

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

Interview/Review by Bears Fonte Kasra Farahani has made a horror film about life under Trump.

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,

FANTASIA Review: CONFIDENTIAL ASSIGNMENT And The Universality Of The Buddy Cop Film

Review by Bears Fonte The buddy cop movie, a staple of US cinemas in the '80s and '90s, is alive and well in Korea, only it arrives with a little more seriousness and a lot more hand to hand combat.
