Ahead of Fantastic Film Festival Australia’s February 20th launch date, Alex Lines previews two of its most eclectic entries: Nobadi from Germany and Diner from Japan.
Premiering at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, Justin P. Lange’s The Dark is an ingenious reinvention of the zombie genre, bringing a new rage monster to the cinematic screen and exhibiting what anger and fear truly is. This is a film you will not soon be forgetting.
In The Dark, a flesh-eating young girl haunts the woods where she was murdered, as a murderer herself. When she discovers an abused kid inside the trunk of a car, her decision to let the boy live throws her existence into upheaval.
