Fantastic Fest Online Movie Reviews
I was able to get in 4 of the 5 full length movies they had streaming that are now playing at this years festival. Here they are from worst to best.
South Of Heaven
This is definitely a case of style over substance. The cinematography was good, the set designs awesome and it had a cool weird feel, but too bad it had a one note plot that wore thin fast. If you like quirky characters that torture people by cutting off fingers, burning their face, rape, and other beatings then this may be for you. For the average person I do not recommend.

Rule of Three
This was a decent little indie drama that kept my interest throughout. Its a story about two different sets of characters that are tied together by an event. The final reveal of the movie was kinda cool and overall made it worth it. Worth checking out.

I Think We're Alone Now
Wow what a cool documentary. Its about two separate stories of stalker fans of the 80's pop star Tiffany. I mean these folks are straight up nutcases. One of the stalkers is this loser in his 50's that has Asperger's Syndrome and the other one is a hermaphrodite-in-transition. Very interesting and entertaining. Its amazing how out of touch to reality some people are. Very bizarre but very good. Definitely check it out when released later on dvd.

Dr. Infierno
Holy shit I havent had this much fun watching a whacked out movie in awhile. I dont want to give away too much but this movie has giant robots, a dude that goes from normal to giant at a blink of an eye, a person that is woman on top and the body of a man on bottom, and people that have super human strength and ability from a secret serum that brings them back from the dead. Its about a crazy scientist thats intent on ruling the world while finding a cure for cancer and creating other freak shows from his experiments. Whacky dialogue, crazy fight designs and just fucking fun. Please Lord let there be a sequel! Highly recommended!
