I know it’s about motorcycle-riding superheroes who have some sort of insect motif and who often fight monsters, but that’s pretty much it. I have to be honest, I don’t know much about the Kamen Rider franchise.

I love movies that put their own unique spin on the vampire lore we all know and love, so this sounds like it’s going to be right up my alley. The Primevals feels almost like it was made just for me, so naturally, I absolutely need to see this movie.Įmpire V Image provided by the Fantasia International Film FestivalĮmpire V is a Russian film about a world where vampires exercise what’s being described as “an anonymous dictatorship” over the human race, and as a huge fan of vampires, I’m dying to see it. They’re stop-motion animated, and as a guy who grew up on King Kong and Ray Harryhausen films, that seals the deal for me.
That premise alone is super intriguing, but what really makes this a must-watch for me is the way the monsters are brought to life on screen. It’s about a group of explorers who travel to Nepal to capture a Yeti for scientific research, and when they arrive, they find a whole new world inhabited by strange and mysterious creatures. The Primevals is quite possibly my most anticipated movie of the entire festival.

I’m sure it’ll give me a whole slew of new movies to obsess over and to purchase when they come out on Blu-ray, and as a horror fanatic, I couldn’t ask for anything more. I saw some amazing films that I still enjoy revisiting whenever I get the chance, so I’m super excited to be back covering the festival again this year. Back in 2021, it was the first film festival I ever covered, and I had an absolute blast.
Fantasia holds a special place in my heart.
