  Confined to their glasshouse, a family survives The Shred, a toxin that erases memory. Until the sisters are seduced by a Stranger who shatters their peace and stirs a past best left buried. Starring: Jessica Alexander, Kitty Harris, Anja Taljaard, and Adrienne Pearce Directed by: Kelsey Egan Written by: Emma Lungiswa De Wet and Kelsey Egan A Fantasia International Film Festival Review   A “Glasshouse” can easily be broken, and this one is no exception to that. The world has changed because of a toxin in the air that erases memories. It has forced people permanently indoors, or having to wear a mask when outside. The family unit here has made the most of a glasshouse to protect themselves against this airborne enemy. They’ve developed rules and ways of daily life in order for them to survive, and keep their memories alive.   In no way is that easy, but Mother (Adrienne Pearce) is strict in her ways.

That leaves them to listen to grandma tell them about the importance of doing chores around the house and farm.   Boring! Mia and Kevin have little interest in the chores, and become increasingly desperate to get back on the internet. They meet a couple ...

  Two reanimated corpses, dependent on each other for survival, live a life of solitude until a power-hungry magistrate tricks a group of villagers into attacking their lonely castle, fulfilling an ancient prophecy: The Orgy of Blood. Starring: Jerry Bell Jr., Aaron Booth, and Randolph F. Christen Directed and written by: Jesse Blanchard A Fantasia International Film Festival Review   There are several famous puppet pairings, but probably none like “Frank & Zed.” Frank and Zed are monsters, and more importantly best friends. They’re left in a big castle to take care of each other after the townspeople did away with their master and creator centuries ago. Frank goes into the surrounding forest to hunt animals for Zed to eat, while Zed helps make any repairs Frank may need. Apparently this has gone on day after day until one day one of the villagers spots Frank in the forest, and makes it back to the village to confirm evil still exists in the castle.   It definitely tu...
