“My Missing Valentine,” a fantasy comedy drama directed by Chen Yu-hsun, won the top prize at the 57th edition of Golden Horse Awards. It collected four further prizes, including best director and best screenplay on Saturday at an in-person ceremony in Taipei.
Best actress and best supporting actress awards both went to the 81-year-old veteran Chen Shu-fang for her performances in “Little Big Women” and “Dear Tenant” respectively. The emotional Chen said this was her first time walking the red carpet to attend the awards ceremony and she had not expected to go on stage twice in one night.
Chen’s “Dear Tenant” co-star Mo Tzu-yi won his first Golden Horse best actor for his performance in the unusual family drama, in which he plays a character looking after the relatives of his deceased boyfriend.

The Los Cabos International Film Festival kicked off its 2020 edition last Wednesday, November 11th. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the prestigious Mexican festival decided to bet on an entirely virtual format, with no cost. As genre cinema aficionados, we have always paid special attention to the festival's After Dark section. "In After Dark, we congregate extreme narratives and fantasy elements that amaze us", said Los Cabos' artistic director Maru Garzón in an interview with ScreenAnarchy. "We aren't interested in traditional horror, rather in fresh, dynamic and risky efforts, usually made by new auteurs. It's a really successful and popular section", she added. Relic, Get the Hell Out and She Dies Tomorrow are the films from this year's After Dark section. In the galley below...

The feature debut by Taiwanese director I-fan Wang tells a story whose sociopolitical commentary becomes obvious right from the very first image. “If you choose the wrong movie, you only have to wait 90 minutes; if you choose the wrong legislator, you have to wait four years” is the opening text to “Get the Hell Out”, a wild mixture of horror film and comedy, which is now screening at genre festivals such as Fantasy Filmfest 2020. Similar to his previous short features like “Temple of the Devilbuster” I-fan Wang inserts a portrayal of his home country’s politics and society, this time within a satirical context, highlighting the phrase that in the end matters becomes so bad, you need to “get the hell out”.

In late November, many of us will be looking towards the Canadian prairies with great envy. Not only will the Saskatoon Fantastic Film Festival be featuring a terrific line-up of films, they will be happening live in the theatre. Being one of the few parts of North American were virus rates are not high, the festival will still be operating at a reduced capacity. But it is happening nonetheless, and as usual, the team has pulled off a kick-ass programme. Several films here have already graced our review pages, including Jumbo, Violation, Get the Hell Out, and Black Bear. There's shorts and features, Canadian and International content, and a...

During these times of social-distancing, it’s impossible to know how Get The Hell Out, part of the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness slate, would have played to a boisterous and welcoming crowd. It’s fair to say it would have been a lot more fun with the rote dialogue being overpowered by hoots and […]

It really is a festival like no other. That’s something critics and journalists probably write every year about the Toronto International Film Festival. After all, TIFF (along with Venice) is considered the kickoff of awards season. Studios and independent distributors alike bringing their biggest hopes and brightest dreams to Canada, where a positive reception can make or break early Oscar buzz. However, in the case of TIFF 2020, there really has not been a film festival like this.
In the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the entire press component, including our attendance to the festival, was virtual; the red carpet was permanently rolled up; and even the stars and filmmakers stayed away, giving rare publicity one press conference on zoom at a time.
In this environment, and with studios keeping their traditional highly marketed end of year wares in indefinite stasis, some worried that the show couldn’t go on.

Political theater gets a whole new meaning in debutante director Wang I-Fan's horror comedy, Get the Hell Out, one of three genre features anchoring the Toronto's fabled Midnight Madness section this year. A virus causing a 28 Days Later style undead outbreak turns Taiwan's legislature into a blood-spattered free-for-all that is equal parts deliriously silly pastiche and adrenaline overloaded action. Hsiung Ying-ying (Megan Lai) is a legislator on the rise, her take-no-prisoners attitude puts her in good stead in Taiwan's notoriously antagonistic Legislative Yuan, where shouting matches over policy have been known to devolve into swarming brawls, often just for the sake of appearances. When Hsiung, in an adrenaline haze trying to literally fight her way to the floor, takes out meek security guard Wang...

A zombie movie with political undertones? Bitten there, dawned that. But a zombie movie about the political process itself — one that eschews any subtext whatsoever in favor of ultra-violently literalizing the infectious corruption and braindead idiocy that rots the halls of power from the inside out? That might seem like a more accurate reflection of the self-immolating world we all share today, where so many different governments are only sustained by encouraging their people to eat each other alive.
That, at least, is the working theory behind Wang I-Fan’s “Get the Hell Out,” . “A wrong movie makes you suffer for 90 minutes,” declares a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it opening title card that reads more like a disclaimer. “A wrong government makes you suffer for four years.” In other words: No matter how exhausting you find this anarchic cross between George Romero and Scott Pilgrim, it can’t be worse than the reality...

You’ve gotta give “Get the Hell Out” this much: it sure does try hard. This Taiwanese zombie-apocalypse action/comedy is the first feature from director I-Fan Wang, and it’s the kind of movie where you discover that tidbit after the fact and nod knowingly – yes, of course, this was their first feature. It’s so desperate to impress, so intent on loading up every frame and overwhelming you with its style, that it doesn’t feel like a narrative; it feels like a 96-minute director’s reel.
