TwoOhSix Recap - Ten Must Watch Movies from the 2019 Fantasia International Film Festival.
First let me just say this. I am now officially declaring the Fantasia International Film Festival to be my favorite film festival that I have had the opportunity to cover over the last eight years. The selection of genre films suits my tastes perfectly and the only thing that could have been better is if I could have watched more than the twenty six movies I watched during the festival. All other festivals are on notice. It's time to step up your game.

Depraved - Fantasia 2019 Capsule Review
The Movie: Depraved
The Director: Larry Fessenden
The Cast: Alex Breaux, David Call, Joshua Leonard, Ana Kayne, Maria Dizzia, Chloë Levine
The Story: A disillusioned field surgeon suffering from PTSD makes a man out of body parts and brings him to life in a Brooklyn loft.
The Capsule Review:
I want to say a lot about this movie, but I can't just yet. Horror fans are going to freak out over this modern day take on the classic story of Frankenstein's monster. Great performances from everyone involved and Fessenden's story telling style is captivatingly scary. Watch it as soon as you can. We'll talk more later.
Depraved is an official selection of the 2019 Fantasia International Film Festival.
