CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

james_corck3 I swear, I had never seen such a bad movie as Half Caste is. Not only because it just makes no sense, is a huge piece of egolatry and self-confidence that makes me puke.Sebastian Apocada (in Spanish Apocada has a similar pronunciation to "apocado" which means "out of life and happiness") makes here a one man army movie thinking he is Sam Raimi or the boys who directed the Blair Witch project. This is the Blair Kittie project, with an expensive low budget.The story, a couple of American Filmmakers that go to Africa to make a documentary of the Half Caste, is just no-sense. The way of filming, inserting high speed shots with slow motion shots, just revolts your stomach more than the stupid lines (what the hell is that dialog about Bestiality?) or the lame performances. By the way, I don't believe this cast (or caste?) is American, they all look European to me.To finish this, just say that the filmmakers made an intelligent move about selling the movie. They put a fake award achievement (as most original film) and a nice cover (in Spain the cover had the Half caste image in negative), so I feel now unhappy, because I can't demand my 14 Euros back.

onceafrenchman Although a slow start, half-caste becomes willingly more exciting towards the end. The story line has good potential. Easily to become another cult-classic. To easily describe the movie, Half-caste combines Cabin Fever and Blair Witch rolled up into one. Although it is not a comedy, half-caste seems to point out the sarcastic humor which takes place when people are in fear, the kind of survival of the fittest cliché, the "its you or me who is going to die, IT Ain't GOING TO BE ME!", that takes on most horror films. Although some parts seem to be overly scripted, there are many parts of this film that seem very interesting, original and hauntingly real. According to the Press Release, this movie was filmed right in the South African Backyard, steps away from the real "Nature". This movie also boasts the first taping of a real Sangoma Witch. Much of the bush footage is real. While watching this film you start to think how tough it was to find a crew willing to go out in the middle of nowhere to and face that much danger for a film. This was no San Diego Zoo. I would definitely give this movie a second viewing.

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.

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.
