Timely Terrors (November 4, 2023) This year for the Windsor International Film Festival’s 48-Hour Flickfest competition, the team decided to tackle a serious subject ripped straight from the headlines: the rise of artificial intelligence. Of course, given our cinematic tastes, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to build a giant cardboard and aluminum robot costume. What do you get when you mix a semi-serious techno thriller with a decidedly B-movie aesthetic? The answer: BUDD-E. |

An Unsettling Revival (November 5, 2022) Another day, another exciting update! This time it comes in the form of an all-new short film. Inspired by the works of David Lynch, Reviver is a mind-bending thriller about a felon who accepts a job from a shadowy figure in exchange for his freedom. This film was produced over a single weekend for the Mark Boscariol 48-Hour Flickfest. Unfortunately, we didn’t take home any prizes, but the film itself should entertain. We’re quite proud of this one. |

Dinosaurs and Video Games (August 25, 2022) Today, we're back with another long overdue update. First up, is a brand new science fiction novel by Kyle Van Dongen. It's about dinosaurs and strange technology. You can learn more about it (and maybe buy a copy) by visiting the BOOKS section of this website or heading directly to AMAZON. The other announcement today is a new addition to our SERIES page. We've recently started a retro gaming channel on Youtube, since we're probably the only people left on Earth who haven't. The goal is to upload a new video every two weeks, so it might be a good idea to ring that notification bell and subscribe, don't you think? Here's the LINK. As for our next film project, the Windsor International Film Festival's 48 Hour Flick Fest Competition is scheduled to return in September. In other words, expect another update before October. Also, we're working behind the scenes to potentially release a new feature film sometime next year, but it's better not to say too much until the plans are finalized. |

Mistakes Were Made (September 11, 2021) Yikes! Due to the worldwide pandemic, it’s been almost a year since this site was last updated. Thankfully, a lull in our region’s caseload has allowed us to participate in the Windsor International Film Festival’s 48 Hour Flick Fest Competition. Our film, The Mistake, was inspired by the cult phenomenon “The Room”. It’s not a parody, but rather an attempt to capture the essence of what made that film so memorable. It’s weird, but hopefully entertaining. And with any luck, we’ll be able to start working on more movies soon. Virus permitting. |

COVID Woes (August 31, 2020) As you know the global pandemic is affecting everyone, including those in the entertainment industry. We at Uncanny Visions are taking this threat very seriously and adhering to guidelines set by our local health authorities. Due to these unfortunate circumstances we won’t have much to share over the coming weeks in terms of content, but that doesn’t mean we’re not hard at work behind the scenes. You may have noticed that the site has been updated with new navigation options. Under the collaboration tab, we’ve linked to projects our staff has worked on outside of the Uncanny Visions brand. Expect more content to populate this page in the coming months. We also added a section for books, or more specifically, novels. The first (and for now, only) title is “Savage Days” written by Kyle Van Dongen. This story was originally conceptualized as a film production, but grew too ambitious for our modest budgetary restrictions. Now it lives on in written form, totally uncompromised. Check it out, if you dare. That’s it for now. Stay safe everyone! |

A Sticky Situation (November 9, 2019) As always, we had a great time at the 2019 Mark Boscariol 48-Hour FlickFest competition. Uncanny Visions took home the audience choice award and the film's star Heath Camlis won best actor. For those who missed the premiere, the Sticky Avenger is now live on Youtube. |

The Devil Arrives (November 3, 2019) Those who follow the official Uncanny Visions Facebook page already know this, both through our live Youtube premiere on October 30th and the subsequent release announcement, but our newest short film, Devil’s Night is now available for the world to see. It’s about 30 minutes long and was inspired by horror classics like Halloween and Suspiria. The story is quite twisty, so the less said the better. Check it out! Also, our latest 48 Hour Film Competition entry premieres this upcoming Friday in Windsor. Expect to see it appear online shortly after. |

Devilish Happenings (July 15, 2019) Just a quick update today. After many cold nights and a lot of hard work, we're happy to announce that our next short film "Devil's Night" is complete. As you might've guessed, it's another horror project. We're keeping much of the plot under wraps for now, but if you're interested in a tease, we've got you covered. |
