What begins as an emotionally awkward reunion between exes quickly descends into absolute chaos when an underground punk concert becomes ground zero for a zombie apocalypse.
Short Film For You! [Fan Film July]
Born Of Women 2026 [Fantasia 2026]
For a few years now, Fantasia has been doing a showcase of short film directed by women. Each year, the shorts included are fantastic with past titles including Freya, Lucid, and Creswick (which later became The Relic), short films that have stayed in the mind clearer than most others. At Cinema-Crazed, we are big supporters of Women in Horror and showcase their work whenever we can and go extra hard in March (the interviews should be coming back next March, keep your eyes peeled for them). So, any chance to see a group of shorts made by women and carefully curated is always a good day. Here are this year’s selections, reviewed by yours truly:
Nightborn [2026] [Fantasia 2026] [Shudder]
Nightborn, directed by Hanna Bergholm, is the fantastic and frightening tale of new parenthood. It just won the top jury prize at Fantasia, and you can check it out on Shudder soon. See why you should below.

The Last Footage [2026] [Fantasia 2026]
The Last Footage, coming from Myanmar from director Arkar Soe Oo, is a film that has a lot going for it, but it also squanders others, coming out a mixed but positive reaction. But even with that, it’s a film I’m very glad to have checked out among the Fantasia Film Festival 2026 lineup.
The Double [1971] [Radiance Films Blu-Ray LE]
A man bleeds out from a shooting in a parking garage and pieces together the details that led to this moment in Romolo Guerrieri’s twisty tale The Double. Now on Blu-ray from Radiance Films.
