Tigers Are Not Afraid (read our reviews here and here) caught my eye after it screened at Fantastic Fest 2017 where the Spanish film won Writer/Director Issa Lopez the Best Horror Director prize. Tigers is a dark fairy tale that follows a group of young orphans trying to survive the …

We Summon the Darkness (read our review – here) is a horror-comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously and it doesn’t expect you to either. The satiric little gem fresh out of 2019’s Fantastic Fest is amusing entertainment, which I am welcoming very freely these last few weeks because of …
