Fantastic Fest 3, a week-long festival featuring the best in new science-fiction, fantasy, horror, animation, crime, Asian, and all around badass cinema, starts on September 20 and runs through the 27th. With over 60 premiere genre features and 30 shorts, it is impossible to see it all. Over the next week, I will discuss several of the movies I plan on seeing. Once the festival starts, expect daily (or sometimes more) recaps of the movies I saw and what I thought.
One of the many things that makes Austin, TX cool, all the Festival’s films are shown in one theater, the Alamo Draft House South, over a span of eight days! I dare anyone to find such an incredible collection of genre films showcased in one theater over a similar period.
My festival begins on Sept. 20 at 6:45 with George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead complete with a Q&A sessions with Romero himself!
Following the opening movie excitement is The Last Winter with Writer-Director Larry Fessenden live in person. I have hopes for this eco-horror thriller from the creator of Habit and Wendigo
