The 46th Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, the world’s foremost international festival specialized in fantasy and horror films, also came to a close on Sunday with the screening of Ti West’s The Sacrament. The festival was very animated this year as Terry Gilliam and Eli Roth introduced a critical view of new technologies and the festival commemorated the 30th anniversary of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi among many other events.
