It isn’t every year that not one, but TWO sequels/spinoffs to a popular horror series drop, but that’s the case with Critters: A New Binge and Critters Attack!, with the latter world premiering at Fantasia 2019 this past weekend. But some Critters fans won’t be happy to know that the two have much more in common than they’d like…

In writing, you’ll often hear the phrase, “keep it simple, stupid”. The more focused a story can be, the less chance there is to get bogged down in elements that aren’t necessary. Jade’s Asylum, world premiering today at Fantasia 2019, is the perfect example of this…
