Reviews
Manthast Absolutely amazing
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
radicalrevolt This movie was a big disappointment. The plot sounded great, about a half-human, half-leopard creature in Africa that becomes the subject of a documentary by young American adults. When many of the crew members are found dead, the 2 survivors are taken into questioning. I wouldn't even call this a horror movie, since most of the movie is actually about the (mis)adventures of the aforementioned, narcissistic 20-somethings, which include sex and smoking animal dung to get high (isn't as entertaining as it sounds--trust me). You rarely get to see the creature, and the main actor (who also happens to be the director, screen writer, editor, and producer!) is incredibly annoying.I was finally so annoyed by the never-ending dialogue that I fast-forwarded to the end. I had guessed the ending in less than 10 minutes into the movie...and I was right. Thus, this awful movie is utterly predictable, too--as if it wasn't bad enough. Moral of the story: avoid movies that are acted, directed, edited, produced and written by the same nobody. And avoid this movie, unless held at gunpoint.
JHC3 An annoying and talentless American documentary maker learns of a legendarySouth African monster, the Half-Caste. Tradition says that it is a half-human, half-leopard creature with the closest parallel being that of the werewolf of European tradition. Rather than focus on the creature, the film follows the meanderings of the film crew. There is little action or suspense until late in the film. This problem is exacerbated by numerous irritating characters generating a ceaseless amount of even more irritating talk. The basic premise is wasted since it is sidelined by the inexplicable focus on the documentary crew. Perhaps the director was influenced by the approach of The Blair Witch Project (1999) or The Last Broadcast (1998). Regardless, the film fails on most levels. Avoid at all costs.
Kjartan Einarsson this film is what happens when people see like in this particular one blair witch project and say hell people running around with cameras, acting slash documentary themed no problemo i can do it and start out with a lame idea make up a terrible script and get a bunch of talentless actors and start shooting a film. plot is that in africa there a halfcaste a breed of man like animals who hunt and kill humans, the locals think that it's a demon or a evil spirit but our wild bunch are in africa to get some proof of there own. no need for more words on the plot this movie get's a 1 out of 10 and i am trying to find something good to say about this movie but after a long time thinking nothing nada zero null.
vidette This is the craziest Safari trip I've ever seen and I'm not talking Discovery Channel either. I saw this film in Cape Town and I was totally impressed with the camera work and the strange movement of this actor or creature or whatever it is. And even though there was probably a limitation in their budget, it was very stylish and unique for an African horror and a breath of fresh air from all those Hollywood special effects movies. Very cool direction when it came to the intimate tales of the Half-Caste from the real African natives and the psychological twists of the characters, but even more then that, just rent it for the wildest lion attack you'll ever see on film. I highly recommend this crazy adventure.
