Ahead of the film’s premiere at SXSW, we’ve learned today via Deadline that Jaco Bouwer‘s South African horror movie Gaia has already been acquired for release by Decal.
Decal, which the site notes is “the newly formed home entertainment distributor from Neon and Bleecker Street,” is planning to release Gaia in theaters this summer.
“On a surveillance mission in a primordial forest, a park ranger encounters two survivalists following a post-apocalyptic lifestyle. The boy and his philosophical father seem to have their own religion, and a mysterious relationship to nature. There are many suspicious aspects to their existence, but when the cabin is attacked by strange, post-human beings one night, she learns that there is a greater threat in this emergent wilderness.
“Gaia is an ecological horror fantasy which engages the burning issues of our time.”
The film stars Monique Rockman, Carel Nel, Alex van Dyk, and Anthony Oseyemi.
Tertius Kapp wrote the script. Watch the teaser below.
