Here is our second interview to come out of the 2022 Fantasia Film Festthough probably the last one to be published while the festival is still going on. I had a chance to speak to director and co-writer Nico van den Brink, whose Dutch folk horror film Moloch had its International Premiere at the festival (yes, I know I say World Premiere in the intro) before being made available for streaming on Shudder.

I hope you enjoy this interview and keep an eye out for my remaining interviews from Fantasia in the weeks and months ahead.

We have just come back from spending a week in Montreal for the 2022 Fantasia International Film Festival, and well be rolling out filmmaker interviews over the course of the following week. Our first interview is also the most recent, as we spoke to director Ry Levey and professional wrestlers Sonny Kiss and Parrow for the LGBTQ wrestling documentary Out in the Ring, which screened at the festival last night. Enjoy!

The Canadian vampire drama opens this weekend at the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto and I had a chat with the film’s co-writer and director Blaine Thurier, who was also formerly known as a member of the indie rock band The New Pornographers. I talk with Blaine Thurier about his inspirations for the film and ask what is his favourite type of vampire film.
