MORE FANTASIA FILMS (my selection from the United States):

Mulberry Street (USA, 2007) ☆☆☆☆
This low-budget movie really delivers. When a zombie epidemic strikes downtown New York, neighbours in Mulberry Street have no other choice but to defend themselves against these evil beings. Shot in HD video and almost entirely at night, the movie delivers good shock scenes and suspense. You wil never want to take a way at night in your neighbourhood street again.

Right At Your Door (USA, 2006) ☆☆☆☆
A couple living in L.A. wakes up to a nightmare caused by terrorist attacks. Several bombs explode in downtown. The real problem being that the bombs emit biochemical toxins into the air. We follow 24 hours in the lives of this couple, whose lives hang by a thread, and every second there is something going on that keeps you alert throughout the film. Another good low-budget movie that takes place mostly in the couple's house. The unexpected ending is one of the best I have seen in the Fantasia festival.

The Rage (USA, 2007) ☆
Some friends are out on the road going somewhere on vacations. At the same time, a Soviet scientist throws out toxic waste into the air causing pollution, and of course, mutations. When our group of friends encounter the first mutant animals, all hell breaks loose, and of course, from this point on, there is no more plot, just bad acting, I mean, really bad acting, and blood gushing out from almost everywhere. Consider yourselves warned!

Hatchet (USA, 2006) ☆☆☆
The plot is simplicity at its finest: a group of tourists decided to take a boat tour in the swamps of New Orleans. Only one of the tourists knows what really happened in those swamps. There is a madman who kills people by tearing them up to pieces. And this is where the "complex" background story is told, check this out: little Victor Crowley lived alone with his dad. He was born with a deformed head. One day, when the wood house is accidentaly put on fire, Victor's father comes to rescue his son. He tries to open the door with a hatchet, and oops!, he accidentally hits poor Victor in the head, deforming even more his face. Father dies of depression, and little Victor is left alone in the woods (or the swamps) to kill wheover approaches his cabin. There you go. The good news is that the film is actually funny and gory, but the mix here works surprisingly well. Our tourists will be killed one by one, torn to pieces by Victor. All in all, a good laugh like not many horror movies can give you.
