Amazing Fantasy Fest 2024 Report: Part 2 Image Credit: Chris Cosgrave Amazing Fantasy Fest is a genre specific film festival that recently completed its first year of operation. The event was held for seven days at the majestic Dipson Amherst Theatre in Buffalo, New York, from September 13th, 2024, to September 19th, 2024. The festival screened 21 feature films and 62 short films, 83 movies total.
I attended three of the festival’s seven days (days 1, 2, and 7), managing to see eighteen films total (ten short films, eight feature films). Check out the first part of this report here, where I review everything that I saw on days1 and 2. This second part is all about everything that I saw on day 7.
Each movie, regardless of length, will get a number rating (1 to 10). Short film reviews will appear first, followed by feature film reviews. And so, without any further what have you, what else did I see at the first ever Amazing Fantasy Fest?

It appears to be about a medieval fighter of some sort trying to deal with a dead body, and while doing that he’s approached by a scary looking bird. The bird’s presence seems to stop the fighter dead in his tracks, and the bulk of the short is that fighter trying to overcome his fear of that scary looking bird. At least I.
