Fantastic Fest locks its schedule and releases a full line-up!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Fantastic Fest is slowly approaching. If you’ve been in Austin holding a pre-ordered badge you’ve been getting a helluva lot of access to free and early Fantastic Fest/AICN related screenings already. Consider them appetizers for the buffet of gore, bullets and precious bodily fluids that we call Fantastic Fest.
The final schedule has locked and in the last minute Tim League and the good folks programming the festival locked in some good titles. Of the titles that just locked, I’ve seen SON OF RAMBOW and it is awesome. It’s worth buying a badge just by itself.
Also added was THE BACKWOODS, a flick starring Gary Oldman that I’ve been dying to see since it was announced.
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REST OF THE ADDITIONS!
Also of note would be the complete schedule listing, which shows us that we’ll be treated to 5 mystery screenings (including the opening and closing night films). I’ve heard some whispering of what some of these could be and yes… they’re worth the suspense.
CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL LINE-UP!!
The VIP badges have been sold out for a while, but there are still some regular badges on sale. If you’re on the fence now’s the time to make your decision as these are close to selling out as well.
CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE BADGE AND PURCHASE!!!
I’ll be there with bells on and I hope to see many of you inbetween some awesome flicks.
PS
Don’t miss TAXIDERMIA. Trust me.

You're just evil for recommending that.
-
Now that the schedule has been announced, when is this screening? I couldn't find it when I tried to scrounge through the list.
-
for Diary of the Dead but its doubtful. It doesnt even have US distribution yet but it is screening up in Toronto. To be honest, i havent been very impressed with the lineup this year and Im hoping the secret screenings will be something really special.
-
Yay!
-
...for all of the amazing free screenings this year! From Hot Fuzz, to Ratatouille, Shoot 'Em Up, etc---you are truly thoughtful and generous to the faithful. Now, bring on the Fest!!!!

Looks pretty good. Would have been interesting to see what thoughtful filmmakers like Fessendon or Brad (Session 9, The Machinist) Anderson would've done with the Halloween franchise if they were hired instead of flash-in-the-pan Zombie.

God help Texas. God help America.

otherwise we'd never hear anything about this *NOTE:Sarcasm*sorry, I've sent in 3 or 4 notices about a Jericho convention in Kansas this weekend and not a mention. I'm not a Jericho fan but dangit it's nice to know when there are other conventions going on for geek related items not just the ones that AICN hosts
-
... will be one of the mystery AICN films. At least that's what I'm guessing based on the poster for the festival. If that turns out to be correct, damn everyone attending!
-
You were the kid that opened their presents before Christmas werent you?
-
Just a guess.

a real wasted oppourtunity. Paddy Considine and oldman are 2 of my favorite actors and I was really excited to see them in a thriller together but it is very boring. Such a great set up and premise and it gets totally wasted. plus both considine and oldman are awful in it.....trust me. its a real let down.

Got some of the most enjoyable films they showed on the line-up. In the features list, End of the line and Flight of the Living Dead were both Crowd pleasers, fun throw backs to the 80's horror videos we all love. The Cold Hour was one of the Spanish equivalents to the Masters of Horror series. I think it was made for a cable series called Stories To Watch Before Going To Bed are something like that. We saw at least 3 of them in Edinburgh and they were all very cool. The Cold Hour was one of my favourite films of the festival, and the only film that came close to scaring me, but my mates didn't share my opinion on it. I think I'm more claustrophobic than them so that might have swayed my opinion. As for the Shorts, don't miss The Fifth if you can help it, it is hilarious. It Came from the West was well received so it doesn't surprise me it won the Audience Award, but it wasn't my cup of tea. It seemed to the the product of someone who had watched Meet the Feebles and Brain Dead too many times (and I didn't think that was possible. Well regardless of what I think, you guys attending have got some cool stuff to watch. Wish I was there!

excuse the grammer. It is 2am here and I am on drugs.

watched the trailer for that on the films website after reading a review. Looks rather fucked up. Can't wait!

TAXIDERMIA = one of the best films I've seen this year
by tubbs tattsyrup
Beautifully shot, very well-acted. And fucked up almost beyond comparison. AAHHHH my brain hurt after that one.

Nope, I'm Jewish. Don't know if I'm right, I could be wrong - it was just a guess. I apoligise if I am right and I ruined it for you.
-
My money is on Southland Tales as being one of the secret screenings. Wish i could find a VIP badge so that I knew I could get into all these secret screenings
-
Wow, that's admission price worthy right there.
