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:

    Mum and Dad, and their "adopted" children, Birdie & Elbie, work at the airport. The family live off whatever they scavenge from cargo holds, offices and hotels - including a steady stream of transient workers who populate the airport's soulless hub. When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a "Mummy's Girl", Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family - and join them in their insanity - or die.
