Back in 2013, I saw and reviewed Adam Ciancio's feature debut Vessel, a intimate and intense film about a young man with voices in his head that he can't control. It was one of most impressive debuts I'd seen in a long time, both in its story and the quality of production. Ciancio has brought much of the same team together for his latest short film, Limerence. Set somewhere in the near future, the pharmaceutical industry has invented a pill that allows couple to remain in the 'honeymoon period' of a relationship forever, to keep that euphoric feeling of falling in love and thinking everything is perfect - as long as they keep taking the drug.

Directed by Adam Ciancio
Written by Adam Ciancio
Australia, 2013
Writer and director Adam Ciancio’s Vessel aims to create a dialogue and original discourse between humans and extraterrestrials, a concept explored in many forms and in many films throughout the years, but quite possibly never as hopelessly uninventive as portrayed here. While its conceptual conceits and low budget charm set out to be a welcome addition to this particular sci-fi sub-genre, Vessel never fully articulates its feelings and emotions on the otherwordly and its seemingly life altering affect on the human condition. The film’s creative outlets are specifically whittled down to minimalist degrees in an attempt to bring into focus the film’s human element, one which fails at grasping at any interesting or reflective emotional perspective.

The Fantasia Film Festival is taking place from July 18th to August 6th in Montreal and will feature over 100 films from around the world. We gave you a look at the initial lineup last month and now have an additional list of Fantasia 2013 films that will be screening, including Curse of Chucky, You’re Next, and Frankenstein’s Army:
Horror Is Child’S Play – Don Mancini’S Curse Of Chucky (World Premiere)
A rarity among genre franchises, the Child’S Play series (begun in 1988) has retained the sure-handed guidance of original screenwriter/creator Don Mancini throughout killer doll Chucky’s decades’-long reign of horror. Mancini, who will be hosting our “scar-studded” world premiere, graduated to the director’s chair with 2004’s Seed Of Chucky, after having co-written or written every entry in the series. His longevity with the project is, of course, matched by the fiendish voiceover work by...
