After a long flight on my part and a far longer drive for both of us, Scott Weinberg and I have finally arrived in Montréal for the FanTasia International Film Festival (their thirteenth, our first). The genre-heavy festival lasts for nearly three weeks; alas, we’ve but one to spare, so without much further ado, here’s a look at what I’ve seen already and what I hope to see before Scott tips his own hand with a title or two to recommend.
Of the features playing, I can highly recommend Michael Paul Stephenson’s Troll 2 doc, Best Worst Movie](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/03/17/sxsw-review-best-worst-movie/); the Aussie revenge thriller, The Horseman](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/03/19/sxsw-review-the-horseman/) (not to be confused with the barely-seen Dennis Quaid vehicle,Horsemen); and Paul Solet’s beautifully bloody baby horror, Grace](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/01/18/sundance-review-grace/). Those looking for something a bit stranger might end up being a bit more fond of Black](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/03/15/sxsw-review-black/) and The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/05/01/400-screens-400-blows-san-francisco-international-film-fest/) than I was, though I also seemed more easily pleased by the Nazi zombies of Dead Snow](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/01/26/sundance-review-dead-snow/) than most, so I guess it all balances out. My enthusiasm for the ultra-kitschy likes of Alien Trespass](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/04/13/fun-out-of-the-sun-a-look-at-the-2009-florida-film-festival/) and Lesbian Vampire Killers, not to mention the admittedly boundary-pushing Deadgirl](http://www.cinematical.com/2009/04/13/fun-out-of-the-sun-a-look-at-the-2009-florida-film-festival/), is all a bit less than what’s already been mentioned, so let’s just leave those at that.
