With a final wave of programming, the 2019 edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival has now released its full lineup, featuring over 130 incredible features from across the globe.
Fantasia International Film Festival
Montreal, Quebec – July 11 to August 1
In addition, the festival is also very proud to announce a record number of repertory titles, its esteemed 2019 jury, a horror film location bus tour through Montreal, and exciting, one-of-a-kind live events with producer Edward R. Pressman, “First Blood” director Ted Kotcheff, and iconic horror host Joe Bob Briggs.
Japanese horror icon ”Sadako” will open fantasia 2019!
Twenty years ago, Fantasia celebrated the North American Premiere of Hideo Nakata's “Ringu” and its sequel, which led to Dreamworks acquiring the franchise and is largely seen as having been the birth of J-Horror in the West. This Summer, the festival is proud to open its 23rd edition with the series' latest sequel, “Sadako” (North American Premiere), which also marks the return of director Nakata to his beloved franchise. One of cinema's scariest characters is back on the big screen, and you'd better prepare yourself in case she and her young acolyte decide to crawl out of it. “Sadako” cleverly respects all of the elements that made Koji Suzuki's novels so successful, but brings in a host of new elements that will revive J-horror for an all-new generation of terrified moviegoers.
