Attack on Paradise | Fantasia 2026
Attack on Paradise undeniably draws comparisons to The Raid with its brutal floor by floor siege premise, it manages to carve out its own identity thanks to a surprising amount of humor and a heart-melting story about an ex-con fighting to save his mother. As Suleyman battles his way through his gang-infested apartment block during a police raid gone wrong, director Bob Colaers delivers pulse-pounding, over-charged machismo and grounded fight choreography that perfectly highlights the physical strain of every brawl.
Sour Minnows | Fantasia 2026
Sour Minnows might not make the best first impression, it quickly sinks its hooks into you. It's a funny, inventive, and utterly nightmarish film that completely defied my expectations, ultimately becoming one of the most delightfully disturbing and interesting movies I've seen this year.
Tight Lettuce | Fantasia 2026
