We’ve reviewed films from all over the world, Estonia, Tunisia, Norway, Cambodia, even Mongolia. I’m fairly sure though that Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It is the first film from Kazakhstan that we’ve reviewed. How does this bloody black comedy from a country better known for producing Mma fighters than movies fare?
Dastan (Daniyar Alshinov) is stressed out by the thought that he’ll soon be a father. He’s even more stressed out by his wife Zhanna (Asel Kaliyeva) constantly nagging and screaming at him. So he decides that a weekend spent fishing with his buddies Arman (Azamat Marklenov) and Muram (Yerlan Prynsetov) is just what he needs. The fact none of...

To mark the release of Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It, out now, we’ve been given 2 copies to give away on Blu-ray.
Bickering husband and wife Dastan (Daniar Alshinov) and Zhanna (Asel Kaliyeva) are expecting their first child and Dastan is desperate to get away for one last weekend of fun before the baby arrives and he must finally settle down. He rounds up his two best pals for a boys’ weekend of fishing and fun, but little do they know their plan for a chilled trip to the lake is about to turn into mad and deadly mayhem.
After accidentally witnessing a murder by a group of thugs, the three friends are suddenly on the run to escape their violent clutches and then things turn even wilder. With a mysterious one-eyed man out for blood and a desperate wannabe bride and her pushy father in the mix, the body count starts to rise.

Incompetent goodfellas hunting down amateur hour homeboys. A fishing hook cast through the earlobe of an unsuspecting layman. A floatie made entirely of blow-up dolls. Unbridled bridesmaids snatching husbands up off the streets. Small town suspicious types boasting butcher knives. One-eyed maniacs slashing their way through sanctioned buffoonery. Explosions. Eviscerations. Beheadings. Ball-busting. Horse-bucking. Juice cartons slowly stroked a little too enthusiastically. This is "Sweetie, You Won't Believe It," and nothing can prepare you for its chaotic energy.
Set on the day that his pregnant wife is scheduled to give birth, "Sweetie" follows Dastan (Daniar Alshinov), a financially struggling...

Where has the time gone? It felt like it wasn't too long ago that we were sharing news that The Green Knight was going to open MotelX, the annual genre festival in Lisbon, Portugal. And now, we're back once more, with only a few days before the festival begins, to let you know that David Bruckner's The Night House has been chosen to close out this year's festival. The balance of the lineup this year is not to shabby either. The horror comedy Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It and eco-horror Gaia are on the program. Ben Wheatley's In the Earth joins the Best European Film competition. And the folk horror doc, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror, from Canadian filmmaker...

On the occasion of its latest screening at Fantasia International Film Festival, we speak with Ernar Nurgaliev about the inspiration behind the film, psychology and bank loans, humor and horror, and the Kazakhstan movie industry.
What was your inspiration for the film, all these crazy characters and events?
I was inspired by all the men who like fishing and have families and children, and have to face everyday problems. In my case, sometimes I say something to my wife...
