As it is the 30th Anniversary of Fantasia, we (well, I on behalf of the team and site) will reshare reviews we’ve done for the fest including those done during the fest and those done for films that have played at the fest that we reviewed at other times to give an idea of the scope of Fantasia and how important it is for the film industry as a whole.
2011 was the before times, I was working for a different website doing mostly photography (and the occasional review that my boss didn’t like or respect) and Felix was doing the bulk of the work here, so there are not official fest reviews from 2014 to 1996 on Cinema-Crazed. This won’t keep me from pulling reviews of films that have played the fest that year and we have covered one way or another.
From Felix:
Absentia
Attack the Block
Battle Royale
Captain America (Albert Pyun)
Kidnapped
Red State
The Robot (Endhiran)
Shivers
Stake Land
Super

From Graylan:

From Phil:

From Bob:

From Emilie:

As we constantly review new films, classics, and re-releases, this list is only complete as of right this moment (at time of posting) and will likely become incomplete at some point.
Fantasia 2026 runs from July 16th to August 2nd, 2026
