Fantastic Fest Day 3

Fantastic Fest Day 3
Day three is here and I was started to feel the lack of sleep. Today I saw four more movies. A documentary, an insane action movie and ended it with two more horror comedies.
Cropsey
The only documentary of the festival but it felt right at home in the spirit of the fest. Its basically about this dude named Cropsey that was arrested for murder in the 70's for the death of a young girl on staten island New York. He is also suspected for the disappearance of up to 6 more children. The movie was co directed by two directors who were very visible during the documentary itself which I liked quite a bit. They grew up in the area so they were very with the material and did a great job just exposing the story itself and trying to dig up answers. The fault of the movie for me is that they didnt really end up exposing some big secret or conspiracy like they were probably hoping. Still I enjoyed it for what it was. Final Rating: 6.5/10
Yatterman
When it comes to Takishi Miike you just never know what the fuck you are going to get. It could either be pure twisted genious or just some crazy bullshit. Luckily this movie is much more like the former that the latter. After a funny video introduction to the movie the movie starts full force. The movie feels like a big budget anime cartoon show that was filmed live action. Normally I would hate this shit but there was just a unique touch that just kept me glued to the screen. 90% of the movie was cgi heavy which actually really worked with the spirit of the movie. The story is about a group of heroes called Yatterman that weekly fight against a group of criminals called the Doronbo gang. They are both in search of the pieces of this magical skull that will give its inheritors extreme power. Basically 3 different times in the movie the two teams meet and battle it out with Yatterman always on top. To be honest. It was cheesy, melodramtic, some juvenile humor but it all just worked for me. Final Rating: 7.75/10
Yesterday 
 This is an ultra low budget Canadian zombie comedy. Its your basic set up with survivors trying to look for other survivors and make their way out of the city. Its just a couple of friends that meet up with a loner dude that is a professional shooter and two assholes that find delight in shooting the zombies and even normal humans. There are some cool gory kills and some intentional and unintentional humor that really worked. The story wasnt the most original and some of the camera work and acting were shoddy. But I still applaud them for their effort and its definitely better than the average stdvd crap out there. Final Rating: 6.25
The Revenant
The 4th horror comedy Ive seen at the festival and one of the best. This won the festival award for best director of a horror movie.  The movie is about this soldier thats killed and shipped back over to the U.S. for his funeral. He's buried in a coffin and he awakes at night as a creature of the night. He seeks out his best friend for help. The chemistry between the two leads was awesome. Chris Wylde was funny as hell as the not too bright loyal friend. His delivery and facial expressions were dead on. The movie has a strange turn with the friends becoming essentially a vigilante group of crime fighters. Also there is a scene and gag that I could see being highly controversial but still worked very well. Im not too sure about the final 15 minutes if they could have come up with something better but I thought it ended on a very strong beat. This is a very professionally made movie and a shame it hasnt been picked up for distribution or even a theatrical release. Final Rating: 7.75
