The parasitic creature at the center of The Adams Family’s Hell Hole (comprising John Adams and Toby Poser as directors/co-writers/stars, with daughter Lulu joining them on screenwriting duos while Zelda sits this one out) isn’t messing around. The second it seems its host is being threatened, it simply explodes its way out to find a new one. This means a lot of blood and gore and a couple effective jump scares––you never know how much of a threat is too much. Sometimes the beast simply wiggles a tentacle or two out of its victim’s orifices. Sometimes it stages a jail break. The only consistency is that it will take over the next, nearest male human in the hopes of finally reaching maturity.

As someone who hasn't been shy about sharing my undying love for the 2008 zombie horror comedy Dance of the Dead over the years, (I even had the pleasure of helping host 10th anniversary screenings for the film back in 2018), I'm always stoked to see what director Gregg Bishop is working on, so I'm especially thrilled and chilled that Bishop's new short film, Howl at the Dead, will have its Canadian premiere tonight at the Fantasia International Film Festival!

It’s impossible to have gone through ’90s indie cinema and not be familiar with Kevin Smith’s brand of slacker moviemaking. Between 1994 and 2001, Smith basically became the spokesman for a misfit generation of geeky basement dwellers with his films “Clerks,” “Chasing Amy,” “Mallrats,” “Dogma” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”

In March I had the fortune to see a rough cut of Invention, a new film by Courtney Stephens (Terra Femme, The American Sector) that toes the documentary-fiction boundary more nimbly than most: it stars Callie Hernandez as a woman seeking clarification on the death of her inventor father (Hernandez’s own, glimpsed through archival footage) the aftermath of whose death spans the clerical and conspiratorial. Stephens interpolates conversations (both expository and atmospheric) with sequences that might be dreams, fantasies, or emanations from one of her father’s creations. Even as an enthusiast of Stephens’ work I wasn’t entirely prepared for the experience, but understood it was unlike any recent narrative film. Whether or not other human beings would ever see it was even less certain.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
