Fantasia 2016: Wrap-Up

My coverage of the 20th annual edition of of Fantasia International Film Festival has come to an end. For the second year in a row, I made the trip to Montreal to see a wide variety of films from around the world, ranging from heavily hyped genre films, the best of Asian cinema, and some under the radar independent dramas. I can definitely say that I have grown to enjoy attending Fantasia and I plan on covering the festival once again, though it’s still up in the air whether I’ll trek to Montreal for the third year in a row or take a year off.

Without further ado, here is my full wrap up of the 2016 Fantasia Film Festival!
