The first half of 615 Film’s 2025 excursion to the Chattanooga Film Festival saw a solid if self-indulgent music documentary, a unique metaphysical neo-noir with haunting parallels to our post-pandemic world, and a capital W wild shark horror-comedy that must be seen to be believed, on top of this critic’s first foray in the festival’s Red Eye series of secret screenings. The second half saw more features from some of Hollywood’s rising filmmakers, a 4K restoration of a late-90s cult classic, and a silent masterpiece fitted with a heavy metal score that only makes the experience watching it all the more terrifying.
