The Very Best Of Fantasia 2011 – Michael Ryan’s Five Favourites

Michael Ryan’s Five Favourites – Rabies This year at Fantasia we heard horror in an entirely new language.

Fantasia 2011: ‘Bellflower’ crams in more creative innovations than any recent mega-budget spectacle

Bellflower Directed by Evan Glodell Written by Evan Glodell 2011, USA Bellflower is one of the ballsiest, hippest and potentially off-putting movies screening at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival.
