Monsieur Théodore Pellerin would like to welcome us to French-Canadia (I don't know why but it's always "French-Canadia" in my head so it stays) for this year's Fantasia Film Festival in beautiful Montreal, baby! Specifically I'm hoping Teddy will welcome me personally because tomorrow morning I'm hopping on a plane and heading up there for a another week of typically fantastic and scary movies like only Fantasia can do. Don't forget this is where I saw Skinamarink and Red Rooms for the first times! (Cue the incorrect Skinamarink haters in 3...2...1....) The fest kicks off today and it runs for a full three weeks, ending on August 3rd -- obviously I can't do the entire fest given that length of time but I still won't be back here writing for you again until next Thursday. (Or if French-Canadia will have me -- maybe never? Dare to dream.) Anyway you'll be getting reviews from me soon enough from the fest but since I already saw and reviewed Monsieur Pellerin's ace stalker thriller Lurker when it played Sundance I can go ahead and re-share that review as if it's a Fantasia one -- read my thoughts on Lurker right here. Terrific flick! And I'm hoping there will be another Skinamarink or Red Rooms shaped thrilling surprise ins tore for me this year -- stay tuned, make sure you check out their entire line-up at this link, and if you're a Canadian or traveler who's already planning on attending some of this stuff do make with the bonjours.
