Re: FF23 film reviews

My two standouts were The Piper and The Sacrifice Game. The Piper was pretty tame, more geared to a younger audience and pretty formulaic but for all that, I found myself emotionally invested in it. In the case of The Sacrifice Game, it was not the horror elements I responded too Interestingly enoug...

Re: Fantasy FrightFest Film Festival

Oh that is a tough one. Would probably have to be Guillermo considering Pan's Labyrinth was in the line-up. Although how could anyone forgot George Romero's appearence in 2005

Any recent success stories to give us hope?
