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…

Whether it’s ghosts or aliens, using the unknown can be an incredibly effective way to get some reliable scares.

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…
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…
We’re entering the second week of our Fantasia Festival coverage and if you haven’t been following us on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), you’re missing out! Not only can you follow what movies we’re seeing, but you can also see additional coverage, including from the red carpet! Last night, I got to see the world premiere of Witchboard,…
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)! Also, make sure you’re following us on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to keep up with our coverage of the Fantasia…
