\"\"<\/a>Once again Cinema Crazed has the honor of covering Fantasia Film Festival<\/a>, and we\u2019re getting in our choices for movies we\u2019re looking forward to seeing. Every year we try to cover as many films as possible, and every year we accumulate a list of movies that we\u2019re anxious to seek out in the festival. Fantasia has already released a list of their first and second waves and we compiled a list of five movies that caught our attention the most.<\/p>\n

This year Fantasia runs from July 20th<\/sup> to August 9th<\/sup> at Montreal!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Aporia<\/strong>
\nSince losing her husband Mal (Edi Gathegi, FOR ALL MANKIND) in a drunk-driving incident, Sophie (Judy Greer, HALLOWEEN) has struggled to manage crippling grief, a full-time job, and the demands of parenting her devastated teenage daughter (Faithe Herman, THIS IS US). When her husband\u2019s best friend Jabir (Payman Maadi, A SEPARATION), a former physicist, reveals that he has been building a time-bending machine that could restore her former life, Sophie will be faced with an impossible choice\u2014and unforeseeable consequences. From award-winning writer\/director Jared Moshe (THE BALLAD OF LEFTY BROWN), \u201cAporia\u201d grapples with the ripple effects of morally fraught choices made in the name of love and raises timely questions about ethics in technological innovation.<\/p>\n

Kurayukaba<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/em>Equal parts crazy cartoon caper, shadowy film noir, nostalgic escapade, and steampunk fantasy, the movie is a retro-flavored anime reimagining of the freewheeling Taisho era, Japan\u2019s equivalent of the Roaring Twenties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Suitable Flesh
\n<\/strong>Described as a \u201ca fast-moving film that grabs the viewers\u2019 attention and doesn\u2019t let go until the credits roll\u201d by our own Emilie Black<\/a>, \u201cSuitable Flesh\u201d has been on our radar for a while. Adapted from H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s \u201cThe Thing on the Doorstep,\u201d a psychiatrist falls into a downward spiral of sex, possession, and death when a young patient shows up at her door with symptoms that are of another world. Heather Graham and Judah Lewis star in Joe Lynch\u2019s loving tribute to the late Stuart Gordon that reunites actress Barbara Crampton, Screenwriter Denis Paoli, and Executive Producer Brian Yuzna to\u00a0forge a macabre supernatural erotic horror film straight from the depths of the abyss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sympathy for the Devil<\/strong>
\nAward-winning director Yuval Adler (Bethlehem) reunites with Joel Kinnaman following 2020\u2019s The Secrets We Keep\u00a0and brings Nicolas Cage on board to deliver one of the most intense performances of his career in Sympathy for the Devil. After being forced to drive a mysterious passenger at gunpoint, a man finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.<\/p>\n

Talk To Me<\/strong>
\nWhen a group of friends discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, they become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces. An astonishing feature debut from Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, Talk To Me\u00a0is an exhilarating roller coaster that balances imaginative scares with emotionally nuanced characters and an ingeniously original concept. It became an instant classic from the moment of its lauded Sundance premiere. Stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen and Miranda Otto.<\/p>\n

Vincent Must Die<\/strong>
\nRandom strangers have suddenly started attacking the otherwise unremarkable Vincent (Karim Leklou) with murderous intent. As things spiral violently out of control, he is forced to flee and change his life completely. Coming to Fantasia hot off its acclaimed Cannes Critics Week debut, St\u00e9phan Castang\u2019s phenomenal Vincent Must Die\u00a0(Vincent doit mourir) is a high-energy kaleidoscope of genres \u2013 at once a horror, comedy, romance, fantasy and thriller \u2013 all working together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
