There are a few buzzwords that grab people’s attention without any hesitation at Fantastic Fest – among them, “stoner pals” is very near the top of the list. Taking a cue from classic buddy flicks, this rambunctious comedy from director Manuel Facal has tons of charm. If you’re not hooked by the 12 minute mark, or at least laughing a lot, you might want to try new medication because something is definitely wrong with you. In the film, stoner pals Elias (Joaquín Tome) and Andres (Santiago Quintans) get up to all kinds of drug-fueled craziness, and once the membrane-drain train starts, there’s no getting off. What sets this apart from either…

[Fantastic Fest Review]…Confetti of the Mind: The Short Films of Nacho Vigalondo
They say that there’s no experience like the cinema. Further, a film is all the more enjoyable in the company of like-minded film fans who get to share in the adventure together. It’s interesting, however, to sit through a series of short films with no theme among them save for one commonality – they all are wonderful nuggets from the brilliant mind of Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo. To put it simply, the man is crazy – crazy brilliant, crazy inventive, crazy mysterious, and crazy about his craft. Not sure who came up with it, but Nacho is the unofficial mascot of Fantastic Fest and his vision, ingenuity and inventiveness are…

[Fantastic Fest Review]…Kung Fu Elliot
Genre films are wacky, weird, and wild, and there’s no shortage of them anywhere – film festivals, the Internet, even home movies. But deep down, a good number of these filmmakers probably dream of their film being a big Hollywood production. That’s certainly the case with the titular Elliot anyway. There are numerous films, genre or not, that feature an unlikely hero, or an underdog challenged with a dare-to-be-great experience. Really, you want the best or them, and at first glance, Kung Fu Elliot seems like that kind of film – it’s like the martial arts version of Napoleon Dynamite. Or the making of the film anyway. Elliot “White Lightning” Scott…

[Fantastic Fest Review]…Cub
On the surface, a horror film involving boy scouts on a camping trip gone wrong might seem mundane. As slasher films are a dime a dozen, it really takes some effort and creativity to stand out from the herd. But this little Belgian horror film has more than a trick or two up its sleeve to keep things interesting, and there’s a lot of effort put into making an already threadbare concept something entirely thrilling. Cub is effective as both a thriller and a horror film, but it’s because it’s built more like the former that it succeeds so well as the latter. During their camping trip, a group of young scouts…
