Utilizing an experimental film process that blends animation with live action, this challenging, nightmarish, and visually haunting deep dive into existentialism lands well outside the boundaries of mainstream filmmaking.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Invoking Yell”
Despite a solid setup, charismatic cast, and spooky visual imagery, this horror movie eventually succumbs to the found footage curse of too much film and not enough story.
“The Once and Future Smash”
A very silly and funny mockumentary about a horror sequel that never existed.
“The Artifice Girl”
A sophisticated and provocative sci-fi story about artificial intelligence, ethics, science, and humanity, the film is a cerebral work that is very demanding of its audience.
“Trim Season”
I don’t want to hear any of that “but it’s a slow burn!” talk: if a movie is unhurried to the point it’s no longer entertaining, then it’s not a success.
“The Pope’s Exorcist”
The type of religious horror film that should be forgettable but isn’t, thanks to an engaging performance from Russell Crowe and a strong story that overdelivers on what it promises.
