Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] People used to tell each other scary stories by candlelight on dark nights. It is precisely this mood that Þórður Pálsson taps into in this slowly told psychological horror and plays with our suggestions.

Redux Redux

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights
The movie doesn't spend much time on exposition. Right at the beginning, we see Irene killing her daughter's murderer. That could have been it, but Irene has a time machine in a practical box and she waits for him again in the next parallel world. Once, however, she is able to save the teenager Mia from him, who sticks by her side.

That could have been it, but Irene has a time machine in a practical box and she waits for him again in the next parallel world.

I like the fact that they don't even try to explain it technically or logically in any great detail. In the spirit of the title of “Back

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] There are films that struggle to develop a good idea and, with a bit of luck, the right staging can make it work. “Memoir of a Snail”, however, is bursting with ideas and is able to combine subtle punchlines with dark themes of the human condition. Grace tells her story off-screen about her childhood and her life in Australia in the 1970s, where she lives with her twin brother Gilbert. When they are separated by child services, Grace hoards snails and all sorts of things that look like snails. Adam Elliot stays true to

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] Luc reluctantly accepts his parents' invitation to come to a party in his home village for the weekend and bring his fiancée Nikiya with him. However, the family has a very special hobby, and we can guess why Luc is a vegetarian. Within the metaphor of Lion and Lioness, the clichéd story is fitting for the horror setting. I like the editing and the image design, the camera work is often too conventional for me. At least there is a good one-shot to introduce the characters during the party. The characters are well acted,

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] A Korean ghost horror in a high-rise complex about grief and loss. Watching it in cinema 2 of the Zoopalast with the crisp sound system was a pleasure, as the movie plays intensively with sounds. Like a primal fear, the gruesome sounds create an inner restlessness. Ju-young has been living with her sister Ju-Hee in an apartment in a high-rise complex for a few weeks. Their parents died in a car accident and Ju-young has been hard of hearing ever since. After Ju-Hee hears sensitive noises from the neighboring apartments, she disappears without a

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] Atmospherically, the sheep thriller knows how to place its fantastic landscape shots in the Irish mountains and reveal the raw dynamics. A dispute between two sheep farming families ends in the mistreatment of Michael's horn bearers. A bloody chase begins between the lush meadows. Michael clashes with Gary and his son Jack. The mood in this revenge flick is depressingly gloomy, as in The Banshees of Inisherin. The film benefits from its non-linear narrative style, effectively staged, plot lines from flashbacks and the present converge. In the broadest sense, it is also a treatise

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] Eddie would rather not have done that. The petty thief gets into an open, abandoned car in NYC and suddenly finds himself stranded. A certain William answers the phone and plays mind games with him. Like a mixture of Saw and Daddio, we now see how Eddie tries to escape from the “game” and how conversations about morality and the meaning of life are bantered about. Of course, no real philosophical insights into mankind and society should be expected in this claustrophobic survival thriller. Films with this simple premise must have a concept that

Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] A young woman is arrested when found with a shotgun in her hand in the house of a popular writer - the author dead after being hit several times. In custody, she only wants to talk to investigator Min-ju. It turns out that In-seon and Min-ju were school friends and In-seon was abducted as a girl. Of course, the investigation becomes personal and reaches deep into the past. The thriller with typical Korean theatricality and noir elements is somewhat predictable, but well written and directed. The narrative reminds me of a mixture of the
