    Plot Synopsis:

    Six fourteen year old children skip school to play in the woods, but some hot rodding on a stolen moped changes the fate of their day. They crash into Peter, a disheveled loner, who is delighted to have a group of kids to hang out with. First he gains their trust by joining in their games, but then his behaviour begins to change. Peter uses what he has learned about the kids against them - bullying the alpha boys, belittling the weaker ones and saving his worst for the only girl of the group.

    Plot Synopsis:

    Women's Studies is the story of a pregnant grad student and her friends who are held captive at a women's academy that's actually a cult of feminists bent on the enslavement of men. Rather than a typical "hack & slash" horror movie, it's an intelligent look at groupthink, women's issues, and how blind belief in a one-sided dogma can create a terrorist.

    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!
