Welcome to Fantastic 2007!
September 28th, 2007It’s hard to believe that five years have passed since the inception of the Brattle’s genre film festival. Those five years have seen the rise and fall of the J-Horror craze, a surge in American ‘torture horror,’ a renewed interest in Hong Kong films, and the rise of Korea as a genre film-lovers paradise. We’re pleased that BOSTON FANTASTIC has been on the cutting-edge of these movements (as evidenced by our alumni) and we hope to remain on the edge for years to come.
Previous highlights have included the Boston premieres of The Host, Saw, Tideland, Infernal Affairs, Ju-On 1 & 2, Darkon, Creep, Appleseed, A Tale of Two Sisters, Severance, Mamoru Oshii’s Avalon, Robot Stories, and Undead, as well as special archival screenings and more!
Just announced! Festival premieres: the schlock-horror anthology TRAPPED ASHES and THE DISTRICT, the “Eastern European South Park”! Full schedule available in early October both here and at the theater!
