The 2025 edition of Fantasia has just begun and we cannot wait for the next three weeks of international genre cinema that’ll shock, terrify, and entertain. With so many films playing, it’s hard to determine what to make time for in your schedule. But never fear, because we’re here to help by sharing some of our most anticipated titles playing at this year’s festival. It feels impossible to narrow down ALL of our favorites, but we’re shining a spotlight on those that have particularly caught our genre-loving eyes over here at Dread Central.
Good Boy (dir. Ben Leonberg)
A film that earned tremendous goodwill and buzz from genre fans at earlier festivals this year, including SXSW, Good Boy promises a lean, mean, gripping horror story told from the point-of-view of a dog named Indy. At just 73 minutes, it’s not a movie that’ll waste time, and the recommendations it’s earned make it irresistible. Plus, it features one of the great luminaries of modern indie horror, Larry Fessenden, in a support role. What’s not to like? —Matthew Jackson
