I’m a huge fan of Fantastic Fest, but sadly will not be attending this year. It’s just down the street, but is not in the budget. So I was elated to learn that Fantastic Fest is launching and on-line (and free) component to the festival. Teaming up with B-Side, they are bringing 5 features and 5 short films to your computer screen. The films will be streaming online from September 14-20. It won’t be the same as watching them on the big-screen with a packed house of genre-crazed film fans, but it will at least give everybody an opportunity to get a little taste of Fantastic Fest.
Features include
Doctor Infierno: A demented gynecologist discovers a cure for all the world’s illnesses and uses it as leverage to become sole dictator of the earth. Jam-packed with monsters, kung fu, battling robots and deviant sexual practices, DOCTOR INFIERNO doesn’t let budget get in the way of executing a mountain of crazy ideas.
I Think We’re Alone Now: This fascinating and deeply disturbing documentary takes you deep into the worlds and obsessions of Kelly McCormick and Jeffery Deane Turner, who have been separately stalking 80s pop icon Tiffany for nearly 20 years.
La Crème: Under the Christmas tree, unemployed loser François Margin mysteriously finds a jar of face cream that once applied, temporarily turns him into the most famous celebrity in France.
Rule of Three: Set in one night in a seedy hotel, cult Novelist Eric Shapiro’s debut feature intertwines two stories of sexual encounters gone horribly awry.
South of Heaven: Two brothers on the wrong side of everyone must face an endless array of torture, terrors and indignities in this darkly comic and visually striking noir.
You can view trailers for all these films at Fantastic Fest Online.
