As the stakes escalate, Rush and Lithgow battle it out in epic fashion, in this unbelievably entertaining and disturbing thriller.



Never Let Go (Fantastic Fest)


Fantastic Fest 2024’s opening night gala will include Lionsgate’s horror psychological thriller NEVER LET GO. Legendary horror director Alexandre Aja and Oscar-winning star Halle Berry and producing 21 Laps (Stranger Things, ARRIVAL) will join us to screen their new film. As an evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival. NEVER LET GO will keep you on the edge of your seat.




Opening night will also feature the world premiere of Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, Screambox, and Dark Age Cinema's TERRIFIER 3, featuring the infamous Art the Clown spreading holiday fear in director Damien Leone’s highly anticipated Christmas-set sequel.




Fantastic Fest is also proud to present a special screening of Netflix’s documentary WILL & HARPER, with Will Ferrell, Harper Steele, and director Josh Greenbaum in attendance. The event will be livestreamed to select Alamo Drafthouses nationwide. The film follows the two friends on a road trip across the USA, so Ferrell can connect more deeply with his longtime collaborator Steele after her recent transition, and is a heartwarming, humorous, and extremely timely and important watch.



Mr. Crocket (Fantastic Fest)


The closing night film will be the world premiere of Hulu’s MR. CROCKET, director Brandon Espy’s feature debut based on his popular short. Starring Elvis Nolasco as a diabolical children’s TV show host and Jerrika Hinton as a mother who will stop at nothing to protect her son, MR. CROCKET is an entertaining and imaginative slasher with a deep emotional core at the center of the story.
