| FANTASIA FEST |
FANTASIA FEST is an opportunity to explore any fantasy you can imagine. However, sometimes the festival offers up documentaries that make us think : this could not have happened! That is the case of the first movie I screened, Satan Wants You.
 |
| Michelle Smith and Dr. Lawrence Pazder co-authors of the book Michelle Remembers. |
This documentary illustrates how a woman's obsession with a man and her devious plot to take him away from his family rippled through the world into a frenzied obsession with satanism and satanic possession. The documentary is crazier than fiction! The movie is well structured and in the beginning we don't realize the special quality of Michelle Smith's mental derangement and callousness. I found that throughout the doc she has a recognizable smirk on her face that reveals her fraudulent intentions. Dr Pazder is smitten by her beauty and vulnerability so he is oblivious to her machinations.
I was captivated from beginning to end! Not to be missed!

| Raging Grace |
Raging Grace is about undocumented Filipina housekeeper living in England, Joy played by Max Eigenmann, is doing the best she can to survive with her young daughter Grace played by Jaeden Paige Boadilla. She has very little money but is saving as much as she can so she can provide a safe home for her child. The two live in the basement nook of a building so when Joy is offered a well paying position at a luxurious mansion where she will have a room, it's an offer she cannot refuse!
The woman who hires her, Katherine played by Leanne Best, appears suspicious to Joy when she questions how much medication Katherine is giving her comatose uncle, M. Garrett played by David Hayman, who is supposed to be dying of cancer. Mischievous Grace follows Katherine and discovers some disturbing secrets.
A high stakes cat and mouse game begins when Katherine takes a short trip and Joy realizes she has made serious mistakes in judgement.
I was on the edge of my seat with this horror flick with relentless twists and turns. Although there are a few loose ends, the pace of the movie pushes us forward into the unimaginable nightmare Joy and her daughter have awakened into.
The film is directed by Paris Zarcilla who also hosts the screenings.
