As it is the 30th Anniversary of Fantasia, we (well, I on behalf of the team and site) will reshare reviews we\u2019ve 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

<\/p>\n

1999, the before-before times, when neither Felix or myself were reviewing, when we were wee baby film nerds. This doesn’t mean that the site doesn’t have any reviews from Fantasia 2000, it just means they came later, much later. So, there are no official fest reviews from 2014 to 1996 on Cinema-Crazed. This won\u2019t keep me from pulling reviews of films that have played the fest that year and we have covered one way or another.<\/p>\n

From Phil:
\nDolemite<\/a><\/p>\n

From Felix:
\nThe Iron Giant (film)<\/a>
\nThe Iron Giant (physical media)<\/a>
\nThe Iron Giant (article)<\/a>
\nNekromantik<\/a>
\nRing (film)<\/a>
\nRing (physical media)<\/a>
\nRing 2<\/a>
\nThe Ring Virus<\/a>
\nSchramm<\/a>
\nSchool of the Holy Beast (article)<\/a>
\nSchool of the Holy Beast (physical media)<\/a>
\nWhispering Corridors<\/a><\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nMassacre at Central High<\/a>
\nStir of Echoes (physical media)<\/a>
\nStir of Echoes (article)<\/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

Fantasia 2026 runs from July 16th to August 2nd, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

And just for fun, the full fest poster as it is one of my favorites and was beloved in my apartment before “The Big Move”:<\/p>\n
