Fantasia Fest hits!!

The FANTASIA
FILM FESTIVAL started projecting its films over the past weekend
(it runs in Montreal, Canada from July 5 – 23) and our very own John
Fallon (aka Arrow) is all over it in more ways than one this
year.

Firstly, he’s actually IN two
of the films being presented, the first of which is DEADEN,
which is having its North American premiere on Saturday July 14th at
7:30pm (he stars in that film, wrote it and co-produced). He will be
presenting that movie along with director Christian Viel on Saturday
and I’ll likely be there as well — I have a tiny “cameo”
in the film as a fiendish drug dealer and I was also one of the
film’s executive producers.

If you can’t make it out to Montreal,
the film will hopefully see the inside of DVD shops within the next
few months, or check out the film’s trailer HERE.
The film has been receiving crazy props from many in the industry
since its premiere at last year’s Sitges Film Festival, many of
which you can check out HERE.
Darren Bousman, the director of SAW II, III and IV, said this about
the film: “I thought I was sick but I
can’t hold a candle to the opening scene in this film.”
Nice!

The other film is called RECON
2022, a sci-fi sequel which he co-wrote and in which
he plays the villain, also directed by the highly underrated
Christian Viel. I also have a miniscule “cameo” in that
film as a punkass Marine bitch who apparently gets munched by a
giant space-worm!! (or maybe that was just my past weekend). That
film’s North American premiere will take place on July 19th at
9:20pm, hosted by star Andy Bradshaw and Mr. Viel. You can watch the
film’s trailer HERE.
Looks like a fun time to me.

The Arrow will also be
there as the consummate professional that he is, as a film
reviewer, attempting to squeeze in as many screenings as possible
including such films as THE TRIPPER, Uwe Boll’s POSTAL, THE SIGNAL,
DEAD IN 3 DAYS, TRAPPED ASHES, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, MULBERRY STREET,
BORDERLAND and others, I’m sure. You can keep checking in to the ARROW
IN THE HEAD for updates on that, or our site, of course.

Oh yeah, we might
organize a beer-together at some point as well, so if you’re in
town, you might want to join in and…well, drink beers with us and
talk shop, i.e. movies and chicks. For everything else about the
Festival, check out its OFFICIAL
SITE, a must for all genre movie lovers. These guys are the
tops!
