#FantasticFest PLAY HOUSE is a movie that won last year's Fantastic Pitch competition and received $100K and production assistance and 1 year to complete a feature. Old VHS tapes of an unaired children's TV show are found in a basement but something seems off with the smiling host, Mr. Morton.

Mr. Creamjeans Hidey Hole. If you like raunchy and absurd humor or bonkers horror anthologies, keep an eye out for this title in the future. The title is kind of hard to miss. It’s fun. #FantasticFest
TIKI DRINKS: One of my favorite trips of the festival. Finally getting time with my friends after cranking out reviews. A perfect prelude to a movie with action choreography from the team behind THE RAID and THE NIGHT COMES FOR US. #FantasticFest
KICK ON really worked for me as this grimy drug fueled survival thriller. It struggles some with tone but if you’re down for the grime of it all, it’s a gore heavy good/bad time! #FantasticFest
KICK ON is a nasty “night gone wrong” thriller from the director of GODLESS, doing a total stylistic pivot here. GREEN ROOM vibes fueled by its characters’ bad decisions and worse luck. #fantasticfest
Seeing the 8:30 pm “Kick On” at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in auditorium 1 as movie 24 of #FantasticFest 2026 with James Sheremetta

Looking forward to KICK ON, which I understand to be reminiscent of GREEN ROOM, and starring the Harfoot from THE RINGS OF POWER. #FantasticFest
#FantasticFest MAGICK MTN. is a mumblecore occult fairy tale set to a metal soundtrack. Told in several short stories connected by a narrator. It was made for the Burnt Endominations program at the festival. Arrives on VOD in mid October.
So fucking cool to experience FRISK for the first time in a brand new restoration with Todd Verow in the flesh. A transgressive instant fave. Thank you @ahouseingotham.bsky.social for bringing us the good shit 🩸⛓️📸
MR CREAMJEANS' HIDEY HOLE #FantasticFest #CreamResponsibly
UPIRO. A stylish, and haunting take on vampire lore in a Spanish convent. Gets a little lost (and lengthy) as it weaves the tale into both mythology and mystery, but the final act pulls you back in. #FantasticFest
The Indonesian import GHOST IN THE CELL is quite possibly the craziest prison movie ever made. Trying to even describe this picture was a challenge! It played at #FantasticFest and hits theaters on Oct. 2.
Here's my review: aisleseat.com/ghost-in-the...
PATHETIC FALLACY is a brilliant head trip musical-horror-love story. It actually achieves its goals in being singularly unique. I’ve done 21 Fantastic Fests, only missing 2006. This movie is probably in my top 25 Fantastic Fest movies of all time. 95 out of 100.
