A Simplistic Preview: Fantasia Fest 2024

Well, the boys are back…safely on the other side of the Canadian border, because honestly, who would really want The Simplistic Reviews Podcast in their country, right?

The 28th Edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival begins on July 18th, and boy is this one a doozy. Of course here in the US we decided to all but stop film in out tracks for the better part of six months, but there is plenty of fun, grim, horrific, grotesque, erotic, and blood-soaked from all over the world to keep us happy.

Here’s just a snippet of what we’re looking forward to from this year’s slate of international fare.

Hell Hole (2024)

The Adams Family returns to Fantasia with another tale that is sure to get right under your skin. This time with the dangers of fracking and what might be lying just underneath our feet.

With over 100 feature films and almost an endless array of short films it was hard for us to pick, but here are a few honorable mentions below:

Animalia Paradoxa (Chile)

Chainsaws Were Singing (Estonia)

Mash Ville (South Korea)

Me and My Victim (Canada/USA)

Scared Shitless (Canada)

The Old Man and The Demon Sword (Portugal)

Remember kids, the 28th Edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival runs from July 18th - August 4th 2024. Click HERE to see the complete schedule.
