The festival ran from July 18th until August 4th, 2024 and included everything from screenings to workshops to book launches. Overall, there were more than 125 features and 200 shorts shown throughout the festival. 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.

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!

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…

Our coverage of the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival keeps on rolling, rain or shine! Not even an extreme weather warning could keep me and my fellow movie lovers from seeing the French film Mangeur d’Âmes (The Soul Eater)!

When I first confirmed that I would be covering the Fantasia Film Festival this year, there were two movies I knew for sure that I wanted to see. The first was Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks (you can read my spoiler free review of that right here) and the other was the focus of this review:…
