Fantastic Fest 2018 Review: THE GUILTY

Swedish filmmaker Gustav Möller’s “The Guilty” Arrives in Austin. By Liz Lopez Rating: B – While not the most original and brand new premise for a script, Swedish filmmaker Gustav Möller’s feature debut, “The Guilty,” has a limited space to work in and tell this story.

Fantastic Fest 2018 Review: FERAL

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From Mexico comes this dark, slow-burning mystery that gets presented as a faux documentary with a mix of found footage.  Though the approach might sound a little cliche, its messages could not be any more timely.  Feral offers audiences an intimate portrait of an excommunicated priest… Continue reading Fantastic Fest 2018 Review: FERAL

Fantastic Fest 2018 Review: DONNYBROOK

By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the dark and gritty novel of the same name by Frank Bill, writer/director Tim Sutton’s adaptation is a darkly meditative piece that slowly burns until its explosively brutal climax.  Jamie Bell and Frank Grillo star as foes with a similar goal–to escape the helplessness… Continue reading Fantastic Fest 2018 Review: DONNYBROOK
