Exclusive: Fantasia Showcases Reality Horror

New Time Crimes Poster Art

While at New York Comic Con this past weekend, which made the wise decision to move from February to April this year but is going back to February for next year, I hit up the Magnolia/Magnet booth and saw the first poster for their release of Nacho Vigalondo’s Timecrimes, which you can check out on your right.

I’m keeping tabs on things in my town now, and because of that I found out that the Boston Underground Film Festival just unleashed this year’s screening schedule.
