Plot Synopsis:

Fantasia is the largest film festival in North America, a three-week long event that features premieres of films from all over the world. Their goal is not to find the most shocking or most brutal, but the most interesting horror, fantasy, sci-fi and undefinable films they can, and the crowd loves them for it.

We will feature on-going news, reviews and hopefully interviews from the festival as it goes down, so check back often!

    Plot Synopsis:

    Joe and Vanessa thought they had everything. They've settled in an idyllic English town that will be perfect for both raising their unborn child and for Joe to build his dream claymation workshop. From the local hospitality to the rich red molding clay found in the town quarry, it would seem they've settled in paradise. But something isn't quite right. The locals are almost too friendly, and while using the clay Joe begins to have eerie visions of a young girl's murder.
