One such title, LURKER, covered by EoM Contributor AJ Friar is in select U.S. theaters today.

He says, "LURKER isn’t just a psychological thriller, it’s a commentary on our parasocial age, where the line between admiration and obsession grows thinner every day." #FantasiaFest #Lurker
Dramatic thriller “Lurker” dives into the enticement of fame and its poison. [Fantasia]

From @fantasiafestival.com 2025: Toshiaki Toyoda’s sci-fi philosophical thriller TRANSCENDING DIMENSIONS.

Toyoda’s film is a contemplative look at the cross-section of faith and science that isn’t afraid to spill some blood.

Also - not for the photosensitive. #FantasiaFest
You may not know you’re “Transcending Dimensions,” but you’ll certainly feel it. [Fantasia]

I wasn't sure how Kurtis David Harder could pull off a sequel to Influencer, but heck, INFLUENCERS is one hell of a good time—I'd watch Cassandra Naud's identity thief in ten more of these.

I had the chance to explore a new Takashi Miike title: BLAZING FISTS.

It’s a multi-layered tale whose careful threading of journeys amid tropes results in quite a few emotional surprises within the expected martial arts action. #FantasiaFest #WellGoUSA
