From the moment I read the synopsis of this short film while I was at the Austin Film Festival, I knew I had to see it. Written and directed by Emily Everhard, the synopsis for Special Delivery reads: “A Foley artist for pornography falls in love with a porn star during an ADR session.” For…
Adriana and I had the pleasure of attending the Austin Film Festival this year! We were joined by some friends for a few days of movies, panels, hot weather, and good times. We’re going to kick off our coverage of the Austin Film Festival with Bird, another film distributed by Mubi that we got the…
My First Film is one of the most unique films I have seen in a while. From what I understand, the movie is at least partially autobiographical, based on events from the life of writer and director Zia Anger. It’s also incredibly meta. The movie stars Odessa Young as Vita, a young director recounting her…
The Alien franchise is returning to theatres across the world with Alien: Romulus, the latest from writer/director Fede Álvarez. I’ve enjoyed some of Álvarez’s previous movies, including the remake of Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe (2016). The cast of this film includes Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and Archie Renaux, among others. The Alien franchise…
When it comes to creating horror, films often look outside our natural world to make audiences feel uncomfortable. Whether it’s ghosts or aliens, using the unknown can be an incredibly effective way to get some reliable scares. Out Come the Wolves, the latest film from Canadian director Adam MacDonald, recognizes the horror that exists in…
Well, it looks like Fantasia saved the best for last! We closed out the festival this year with Oddity, a new horror movie from writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat) that I’m hoping blows up as much as Longlegs did. It’s deserving of all the hype Longlegs had and then some. I haven’t felt this much palpable…
Azrael, directed by E.L. Katz (Cheap Thrills) and written by Simon Barrett (You’re Next, The Guest), is the most hard-hitting movie I’ve seen at Fantasia so far, and it was one of my most-anticipated, too, solely because I saw the words “post-apocalyptic” and “Samara Weaving” in its plot summary. I didn’t need to know anything…
Our coverage of the Fantasia Film Festival continues with the Canadian premiere of Timestalker, a film from the United Kingdom that stars and was written and directed by Alice Lowe! An excerpt from the synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Timestalker follows hapless heroine Agnes through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies…
I went into Cuckoo with as little knowledge about it as possible, only really knowing that it starred Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, and what a wild ride it was! Cuckoo first premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, but Shea and I were lucky enough to catch it for its…
Movies, movies, and more movies! Our coverage of the Fantasia Film Festival is still in full swing and Tuesday night was a particularly busy one for us at Screen Love Affair! In the early evening, Adriana went to a screening of a new 4k remaster of Cube (1997), while I went to see Baby Assassins…
