A Fine Arts painter is convinced that he is a werewolf wreaking
havoc on a small American town under the full moon.
“one of the most intelligent and interesting werewolf movies of the twenty-first century.”
-OurCulture
“appealingly scrappy and thoughtful…
carves out its own moral seriousness about the monsters inside all of us…
the idiosyncratic earnestness of an experienced horrormeister…
makes for a substantial midnight snack.”
-The Los Angeles Times
“not to be missed…
Blackout is a fantastic film. The story is solid, the characters are well-realized
and believable and the werewolf moments are positively brutal.”

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.
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
When a group of young friends commemorating their high school graduation take a trip to the remote Black Lake, their celebration turns into a nightmare with the sudden appearance of a relentless menace from beneath. Stuck in a leaking boat with no oars, the teens face the ultimate tests of friendship and sacrifice during a terror-stricken fight for survival.
“…a gleefully dire portrayal of human selfishness.”
– Time Out NY
“Easily Fessenden’s best film in my opinion.”
– ICONS OF FRIGHT
“the lake itself takes on allegorical dimensions, the survivors trapped in an amoral purgatory of their own making in which virtually all allegiances fade in favor of cold, Darwinian logic…
lends a dreamlike quality to the narrative that elevates its plot to an abstract level…
With its reliance on ambiguity and mood, “Beneath” applies lo-fi aesthetics to an eerie,
isolated chamber drama…”

From ARROW Video:
THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME
Two married couples collide in Chris Skotchdopole’s beautifully shot and wonderfully wild Crumb Catcher, a truly unique and darkly funny home invasion thriller from the stable of Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix (The House of the Devil, The Ranger, Depraved).
After blacking out during his wedding night, Shane (Rigo Garay) and his new wife, Leah (Ella Rae Peck), head to a remote house for their honeymoon. Their plans to find wedded bliss are hampered when there is a knock at their door. It’s the waiter, John (John Speredakos), and the bartender, Rose (Lorraine Farris), from the reception blackmailing Shane for something he can’t remember doing. As tensions escalate, it soon emerges that the blackmailers don’t just want money. They’re after business partners for their invention, a revolutionary device called… The Crumb Catcher.
With terrific performances by the entire ensemble cast, this absurdist and satirical peek under the tablecloth is a chilling, yet hilarious, ode to the failure of the American Dream and “an insanely impressive directorial debut” (Collider) from writer-director Chris Skotchdopole, highlighted as one of the Best Horror Films of 2024 by The Hollywood Reporter.

The psychedelic horror of filmmaker Graham Reznick gets the hi-def showcase it deserves on the new disc.
The Blu-ray edition of I CAN SEE YOU is now available for pre-order at the discount price of $28.99 from Vinegar Syndrome. The second title in the partnership between Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix and OCN Distribution that we first reported on here, it will ship later this month. Written and directed by Reznick, it stars Benjamin Dickinson, Duncan Skiles, Christopher Ford, Olivia Villanti, Heather Robb, Larry Fessenden. The synopsis: “Three aspiring ad-men take a weekend in the wilderness, brainstorming for their first assignment: to overhaul the image of a once popular cleaning product, Claractix. While in the woods, a girlfriend’s mysterious disappearance sparks a harrowing descent into unreality. Personalities contort into extremes and visits are made by a specter from Claractix campaigns of the past as the film careens towards its startling climax.”
The region-free Blu-ray will also contain Reznick’s stereoscopic 3D short film THE VIEWER (both movies are newly restored and available in HD for the first time), which has been optimized for 3D TVs and projectors, along with a flat version. This initial run will contain two pairs of collectable Glass Eye Pix red-cyan anaglyph 3D glasses. On top of that, the disc includes OFFERINGS, a collection of short films never before released on physical media. The complete details:
I CAN SEE YOU
THE VIEWER
OFFERINGS
We follow Marc a homicidal maniac driven by demons buried deep within his soul, and Wendy Marc’s polar opposite who lives life fast and hard without a second’s thought to the consequences. Their separate paths will eventually cross, but will it be on the road to salvation or the highway to hell?
“a clever collision of flamboyant gore and social commentary
that never goes too far with anything save mordant wit”
– VARIETY
“weird and wild… a truly subversive work of art.”
– SHOCK CINEMA
“At a time when the Tea Party and Religious Right groups have
a stranglehold on “morality” and government, Satan Hates You
is just about the most timely horror film out there.”
—All Things Horror

Crumb Catcher is a truly unforgettable, quirky and horrifying experience. The acting is spot on, with the performance of John Speredakos standing out as chilling and creepy in the most perfect way. Chris Skotchdopole wrote and directed a film that I am sure will go down in history and become a cult classic.
