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.<\/p>\n

For 2025, we were trying a new way to do things as for the first time it was not Felix and myself only, but Bob, Kima, and Nikki took care of the bulk of the reviews with Graylan and myself doing just a few reviews to round out the coverage. Here are the official reviews from last year:<\/p>\n

As most know by now, Fantasia is a great place for films to premiere, get picked up for distribution if they don’t already have a distributor in place, and generally to make waves, which leads to these films landing on our proverbial desks throughout the year. Here are some of the others from Fantasia 2025 that we have reviewed through the year between Fantasia 2025 and Fantasia 2026:<\/p>\n

From Bob:
\nMother of Flies<\/a>
\nFind Your Friends<\/a>
\nF*cktoys<\/a>
\nGood Boy<\/a>
\nOBEX<\/a>
\nQueens of the Dead<\/a>
\nReflection in a Dead Diamond<\/a>
\nThe House with Laughing Windows<\/a>
\nInfluencers<\/a><\/p>\n

From Kima:
\nI Live Here Now<\/a><\/p>\n

From Graylan:
\nThe Forbidden City<\/a>
\nBlazing Fists<\/a>
\nTouch Me<\/a><\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nNoroi: The Curse<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
