Movie Review: Friend of the World
Writer/director Brian Patrick Butler’s Friend of the World is a surreal take on postapocalyptic horror and science fiction. It’s like an extended episode of the original The Twilight Zone television series if Rod Serling or Charles Beaumont or the like accidentally ingested a mind-altering substance, or if pages from the treatments of Dr. Strangelove, Night of the Living Dead, and Apocalypse Now all got dropped on the floor and then hurriedly gathered together and mixed up. Experimental filmmaker Diane (Alexandra Slade) wakes up in a room where she seems to be the only living person, as the floor is littered with dead bodies. After attempts to escape, she wakes up to see the shaving cream-lathered face of General Gore (Nick Young), a crusty, grizzled military member. Though the two are quite opposite in attitudes, they must work together to survive as they traverse through the bunker in which they are currently located. Butler’s mostly black-and-white film often feels like a

This unique whiskey stone is shaped like the famous Loch Ness Monster with

Movie Review: Gaia
Eco horror, body horror, creature feature elements — South African chiller Gaia has all this, and more. It’s an intelligent, macabrely beautiful-looking head trip of a film. Park rangers Gabi (Monique Rockman) and Winston (Anthony Oseyemi) are working in the Tsitsikamma forest, floating down a river, when Gabi’s drone goes dead after she spots something unusual. Gabi goes on land to investigate but falls victim to a trap. She seeks shelter in a cabin and later meets its residents — a middle-aged man named Barend (Carel Nel) and younger adult man Stefan (Alex van Dyk) who have given up civilization for a minimalist, survivalist life deep in the forest. As the separated rangers learn, something deadly lurks in the forest in the way of mutated entities, two-legged creatures that have been overtaken by flowers, foliage, and fungi. And Barend and Stefan are all too familiar with them. Director Jaco Bouwer, working from a remarkable screenplay by Tertius Kapp, has crafted
