"Technically, this is Smith's most accomplished film yet. The cinematography by David Klein, especially his use of the RED camera, is just right for a horror flick, while the absence of any score besides the moments when Parks is singing some hymns gives Red State a feeling of realism."
"Balaguero and Plaza have amped up the adrenaline and gore in the sequel, making for a horror-hound's delight. [REC] 2 is scarier, bloodier, and meaner than its predecessor, which is saying a lot!"

Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival turns 15 years old this summer, and sandwiched between the official opening and closing films - Kevin Smith's horror bow Red State and the Guillermo del Toro-scripted and -produced remake of 1973's Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, respectively - will be more than 120 features, 240 short films, 110 invited guests hosting screenings of their films, and numerous special events including the bestowing of lifetime achievement awards and round table discussions. Below is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's on offer this year.
