Barry is well on the right track to drinking, main- lining, and smoking his way out of his fucked-up life, when one night in a state of total intoxica- tion he is abducted by aliens. After a series of experiments and probes, he finds himself back on Earth but no longer himself: He has become a temporary pad for an alien who steers Barry’s lanky, emaciated body through Cape Town in search of sex, violence, and a good time. Ryan Kruger’s raucously eccentric feature-length debut is a surprisingly profound, moving trip full of hallucinogenic visuals and a thumping, pumping EDM soundtrack. An instant classic of psychotronic cinema!
