Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Patch Town’

August 6, 2014 / ,
The last film we’ll be reviewing for the 2014 Fantasia Film Festival is certainly a weird one. Imagine a Soviet-era village in a town where the residents work in this dark and oppressive factory. You probably think this is some sort of post-apocalyptic dystopia where these workers are slaves to this evil dictator. You might stop thinking that when you

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Zombeavers’

August 1, 2014 / ,
Zombie freakin’ beavers! Need I say more? Sure, Zombeavers sounds like some hackneyed SyFy movie or an unfortunately titled dusty DVD you’d find in the back of some shady adult video store, but the title sure does catch your attention. If your expectations are low, then you’re already taking the right steps to approaching a ridiculous movie like this. Trust me,

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Stereo’

August 1, 2014 / ,
These days, we are all more than a little spoiled by technology. Kids growing up with the tech that we all take for granted will likely never experience the frustrating process of tinkering with a radio dial listening to annoying static to get our favorite radio station to come in clearly. The advent of presets and refined tuning buttons that

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Time Lapse’

July 31, 2014 / ,
I think I’m a good person. I’d like to believe I’m always trying to look out for the needs of those around me. However, I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t use extraordinary events to better my position in life. It’s very cynical of me I know, but then again many filmmakers out there have many of the same beliefs based

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Dealer’

July 30, 2014 / ,
Ah, the work week. Most of the time you’re just trying to make ends meet while working through the daily grind. Of course, it’s possible you might have a job that’s anything but ordinary, but you still put in the needed hours in order to make enough to scrape by.       In terms of professions, drug dealing isn’t

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘The Man in the Orange Jacket’

July 29, 2014 / ,
Ghost stories are something of a hard sell these days. With the return of the found footage format, ghost movies are usually only shown in theatres when the camera is bobbing and weaving at a disorienting rate. The scares start to become predictable and boring as all hell. Thankfully, Armenian director Aik Karapetian’s horror film The Man in the Orange Jacket is

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘The House at the End of Time’

July 28, 2014 / ,
Well, I’m proud to say I can knock another country off my list when it comes to movies. The House at the End of Time (La Casa del fin de los Tiempos) is the first movie I’ve ever seen that is from Venezuela. It is also the highest grossing Venezuelan film of the year and it is in the top ten grossing

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Zombie TV’

July 24, 2014 / ,
To say that Japanese humor is very colorful and animated is an understatement. In fact, Japanese humor is so colorful, I distinctly recall seeing a sushi commercial that involved people dumping paint on themselves, and laying on top of each other to create human sushi.       So when I was given a chance to see Zombie TV, which

Infestation: Fantasia Film Festival 2014 – ‘Cybernatural’

July 23, 2014 / ,
Imagine your average weeknight – browsing the computer, checking your Facebook page, doing some random (possibly shameful) Google search, and then having a Skype chat with your best buds. Now imagine someone turning that into a movie. Sounds boring right? I’m not sure that anyone would find me Googling “Best way to treat hemorrhoids” to be compelling cinema.
