We were recently given the heads up on a trailer for a really creepy looking Italian film called Across the River (Oltre il Guado). If nothing else, this two-minute preview proves that you can give people goosebumps without a word of dialogue.
Across the River was directed by Lorenzo Bianchini (Custodes Bestiae), who co-wrote it with Michela Bianchini. The movie stars Marco Marchese, Renzo Gariup and Lidia Zabrieszach.
Look for more on this one as we get it, but for now dig the trailer and hit the Splattercontainer.com link below for a few additional photos.
Across the River Synopsis
Ethnologist/naturalist Marco Contrada reaches the wooded areas of eastern Friuli on the border with Slovenia to carry out his usual work on the census of wild animals. Marco observes wild boar and deer, looks for traces of predators and maintains traps and cameras scattered over the forest to film animals.

We recently posted three big announcements from the Fantasia Film Festival which included Edgar Wright’s The Worlds End (closing the fest), a special Live theatre event for Clive Barker’s A History of the Devil, and a lifetime achievement award for Andrzej Żuławski. Additional first wave highlights have also been announced, and so far the line-up is shaping up to be better than last year’s batch. Hit the jump to view the current roster.

Across The River
Italy Dir: Lorenzo Bianchini
A brilliant opposition of new and old narratives, this chilling discovery from Italy is the most downright efficient atmospheric horror film you’ll see anywhere this year, haunting with a slow-building, intense crescendo approach to its atmosphere of disorientation and dread. From the director of Custodes Bestiae.
World Premiere.
Big Bad Wolves
Israel Dirs: Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado

While Fantastic Fest seems to satisfy my needs when it comes to a genre film festival, I have always wanted to attend Fantasia. I have heard & seen so much about it that, as a genre fan, it makes me salivate. Luckily, Fantastic Fest seems to nab some titles from their extraordinary lineup so I get to experience some of their programming.
Today, Fantasia has released their first wave of titles. Those lucky bastards get to see live Clive Barker stage theater, see the finale of the Cornetto trilogy and more. Read below for the full list.

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. The initial lineup has just been announced and includes The World’s End, The Conjuring, and a number of horror films making their world premiere:
Official Closing Film – Edgar Wright’s The World’s End (Canadian Premiere)
Fantasia 2013 will come wildly to a close on the night of August 6 with the Canadian premiere of UK filmmaker Edgar Wright’s hotly anticipated apocalyptic comedy The World’S End, starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike and Martin Freeman. As Fantasia was the site of the Canadian Premieres of Wright’s landmark 2004 debut Shawn Of The Dead as well as his most recent Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, we couldn’t think of a better way to close this year’s festival.

[Updated with new poster art]Though scarcely known outside of his native Italy - or even inside it, honestly - writer-director Lorenzo Bianchini remains, to my mind, one of the most intriguing talents in the region. The man simply has a gift for mood and character that results in some truly compelling work regardless of any budget limitations and his 2006 effort Custodes Bestiae and his 2001 offering Lidris Cuadrade Di Tre are personal favorites. All of which adds up to a certain satisfaction coming with the news that Bianchini is now in post on a new feature titled Oltre Il Guado (Across The River). The story revolves around an ethnologist working in the remote woods, trapping animals and mounting cameras on them so that he...
