Award-winning actor, filmmaker, and producer Ethan Daniel Corbett is set to bring his latest leading role to the international stage as Astrolatry premieres at the 59th Sitges Film Festival, running October 8–18, 2026. Marking David Gordon’s feature directorial debut, the psychologically driven genre satire heads to the world’s premier fantasy and horror festival for its first public screening. The high-profile festival debut follows momentum built earlier this year at the Cannes Marché du Film. Astrolatry was selected from a record-breaking 124 submissions for the prestigious Frontières Buyers Showcase.

Spoiler-Free Review: Kung Fu Deadly (Fantastic Fest 2026)

Official synopsis Two hapless rat catchers encounter a kung-fu Taoist Guardian pursuing an undead Chinese Jiangshi. Together they uncover family secrets and must embrace their fate to rid Dublin of this supernatural menace, the only way they know how: Extermination. Review Generally, genre-film festivals need some fun to balance out the more horrific and darker fare. Director Fergal Costello delivers the feel-good goods with martial arts/ jiangshi/supernatural action comedy Kung Fu Deadly (Ireland/Australia, 2026). The film seeks to entertain, and absolutely does, with a tale of two underachieving buddies who need to do some “growing up” fast unless they want to either become or be killed by traditional Chinese hopping vampires. Danny (Steven He) has been running Deadly Vermin Control since his father passed away. His childhood best friend and current roommate Frank (Michael Tient) works with him. Their lack of success with the business is nothing compared to the trouble that awaits them when jiangshi begin appearing, and it
