Frontières is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year and the rest of this year’s lineup was announced today.
It’s gym bros vs. zombies in Nabeel Qureshi’s pleasingly absurd festive horror-comedy.
The second wave of titles for this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival have been announced. How do you like your Javier Bardem? Do you like him tatted up and ripped to shreds? Well, Fantasia will be hosting the World Premiere of the season finale of AppleTV’s new series, Cape Fear. The series starts streaming this Friday on AppleTV. What would happen if Fantasia ran, and the Adams Family did not have a film in the program? Their run is going on six years in a row now with their latest offering, The Glorious Dead, and we’re beginning to wonder what would happen if they skipped a year. Would time and space collide? What would be the ripple affect be? As was announced a…
Directed by Tommy Ng Kai Chung, from a script by producer Polly Yeung, the Hong Kong animated fantasy takes a dark turn as it faces eternal issues. Limbs are separated from bodies; many lives will be lost. Will anyone truly change?
It’s kind of insane that in the year of our lord, two thousand and twenty-six, there is a $200 million-dollar tentpole adaptation of a forty-four-year-old children’s cartoon that is expressly aimed at those of us who grew up in the last wave of Gen X cynicism. And yet, what Travis Knight has created in the new Masters of the Universe somehow manages to be both reverent and irreverent at the same time in a way that manages to slyly awaken and sate the eternal child in all of us.

Several of our contributing writers will be on the ground, and a couple more will be covering the festival remotely, so look for their reviews in the coming days.

From my perspective as managing editor of a site that focuses primarily on genre films, here in the gallery are nine films that stood out to me, though half the fun of a festival like Tribeca is the surprises that rise up and smack you in the…
We here at ScreenAnarchy have been looking forward to Kenji Tanigaki’s The Furious since it was announced two years ago. Of course we were excited about a film that reunites Joe Taslim and Yayan Ruhian from modern action classic The Raid and seeks to bring a pan-Asian melting pot of martial arts violence, with stars like Thailand’s Jeeja Yanin and China’s Xie Miao. So with the film finally near, our team has been thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with anyone and everyone involved in the film in any way. For my part, that meant I got to speak with the inimitable Flying Lotus (legal name Steven Ellison) about “Mudhole,” the bombastic end credits song he created with fellow electronic musician Little Snake and…
