What did I just watch?! That insane ride was something I didn't anticipate. I don't know how to explain this film. It reminds me of films like Mandy & Enter the Void. Very weird, unique, fresh, trippy, and fun sci-fi horror that tells a story about Barry, a lowlife drug addict who is abducted and then possesed by an alien. As his body is being controlled by the unknown, he roams Cape Town, observes the human life, and discovers the beauty and ugliness of it. There's not much to the story but I'm really drawn to it from start to finish. The lead is excellent! His gestures and facial expressions are spot-on. The 18 warning intro was a nice touch and I didn't expect that interlude. The sound is phenomenal. I liked everything about it.
